GreyWolf Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Completely agree with all Marco said, it’s a complete and utter bollocks of a job and those mhks who try to put spin on it plus the ones with there heads in the sand should hang there heads in shame. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallMeCurious Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 I wonder if anyone thought to get a time lapse camera up? I've known a few construction projects where they mounted a camera on a corner of the site and took an image every day or so. Creates an interesting record of build from ground up. If there ever was one on this job I imagine it has been long since 'lost' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there ever was one on this job I imagine it has been long since 'lost' If they make such a camera that can film for soooooooooo long they would probably have had to change the batteries about 108 times, or 110 or maybe even more. Or just leave it plugged into the main. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Len Trench Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 That electronic people counter webcam thingy on the prom near the Crescent didn’t last long either. The sparky’s lost a lot of overtime there as they spent long hours fiddling with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
