I shrunk the photo a bit to fit, so all the detail is not there, but it looks like our roof is home to either a tramp, a shoplifter, or a shoplifting tramp. Amongst all the rubbish I can see a mobile phone box, and a couple of those clear plastic security boxes that some […]

The floor isn’t really wet. We just don’t have a sign that says “Carpet tile removed by the boss so he can take it home and see if its possible to clean it better than our cleaners do so he can put in a complaint about them.”

We don’t talk about 2001… (Actually I can’t remember any accidents that year. We probably just lost the plaque, but why spoil a good caption?)

Outside the building (2)

Our own ‘twin towers’. I started working here in July 2001. Shortly after September 11th this view from the front door was quite unsettling, especially as we are near the flight paths for London City Airport.

Too kind?

They sound exactly like people Alan Duncan described as the “Tory Taliban” last week. One of their ideas is to have […]
