@TyneSnapper I lived on Farndale Road as a nipper, we used to play on the steps of the Plaza which was bingo by then. We sometimes went to the Fish and Chippy further along opposite the Fire Station.
We have put our narrowboat shares on the market for Silhouette and Solace as after ten years on the water we are getting a tad too old for it. We look forward to further trips out until such time as our shares are sold on.
Phone call one sunday afternoon- "There's been a bit of a cockup..."
Someone got confused arming the server room fire protection system and released the gas, despite having to break a seal, lift the cover and press the button labelled release.
Fortunately only two of the four air-con units shut down as people had forgotten to link in the later units so the room got quite hot but not server shutdown hot.
