OH SUE THAT MADE ME LAUGH
THINKING ABOUT WHERE I WORKED, HAD SO MANY VERY HEAVY FIREDOORS AND WHEN BOTH ELBOWS WENT ONE OF MY STAFF HAD TO COME DOWN AND OPEN THEM ALL FOR ME SO I COULD GET IN
FUNNIER BECAUSE MY JOB AT THAT TIME WAS WHAT THEY CALLED CENTRAL SERVICES AND WE RAN THE BUILDINGS WE HAD ALL OVER LONDON, BATH, LIVERPOOL ETC ETC! EVEN FUNNIER ALTHOUGH RATHER SERIOUS OUR BUILDONG HAD BEEN COMPLETELY REFURBISHED AND ONE DAY JUST BEFORE MAY BH ONE OF THE LIGHT FITTINGS IN A ROOM FELL DOWN!
THE REFURB HAD BEEN A VERY MAJOR CONTRACT AND TAKEN A LONG TIME BUT THIS PROBLEM STARTED A COUPLE OF WEEKS INCLUDING A STIFFLING BH WHERE THE BUILDING HAD TO BE EVACUTATED FOR SAFETY REASONS COS THE LIGHTS HAD NOT BEEN ATTACHED TO THE JOISTS! CAUSED MAJOR PROBS COS SOME OFFICES WERE OPERATIONAL......ALLISON WILL UNDERSTAND
ALL OF US IN THE POLICY/CONTRACTS SIDE AND THE BUILDING MANAGEMENT WORKED SHIFTS TO ESCORT CONTRACTORS AROUND THIS MASSIVE BUILDING IN CENTRAL LONDON SO ALL LIGHTS COULD BE CHECKED AND MADE SECURE.........NOW THAT NEVER GOT IN THE PRESS DID IT
TALKING HUNDREDS OF OFFICES ON EACH FLOOR.
ALL OF IT DONE IN THE DARK WITH FLASH LIGHTS AND RADIOS FOR COMMUNICATION AND IF ONE MORE JOKE WAS MADE BY CONTRACTORS WANTING TO GO OUT TO McD WAS MADE ON THE RADIO WE SWORE WE WOULD GO AND KILL THEM!
