Its the older one thank you for that Patrick another a puzzle solved here on GR....*sighs* I can now go about my normal business :-D :-D :-D


DET you win the prize :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

It must be every builder's dream to have eye contact with you, Hayley. :-D ;-)

I expect you will look even younger on Monday when you get in to investigate!! You ladies all look younger as you mature - just takes a bit longer in the morning. :-D ;-)

I confess Island it took a while lolol ;-)

Ta dah! (takes bow) :-D

Pity really. Wrapped up in your coat and scarf when you pop out for a 'breath of fresh air' and you could have had an interesting interlude ;-)

"Skyhooks are a theoretical class of tether propulsion intended to lift payloads to high altitudes and speeds."

Now I am confused :-S :-S :-S

Yeah Det I can see it now ....here comes that dumb blonde auld nosey auld bird from next door... :-D

Hayley Empress of Drama,Display Cushion Specialist,also by Royal Appointment :-D :-D :-D Builders Bum Watcher. :-D :-D :-D

Well, they are Island. I wickied it so it must be right :-D I never get confused by "theoretical class". And "tether propulsion" is more scietifically described as "a kick in the a........rmchair" :-)

Have it your way then John.

:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

I now have my sensible hat on, I too was confused for a while as to why it would be left half way up the building.

Having thought long and hard I have come to the conclusion that it is for elf and safety. Just in case some of the local yoof after a night on the razz happen upon it and decide to climb onto the platform, imagine the trouble if one of them was to fall off and break his stupid neck.

Now, how it gets up and down is another matter, again I suspect pulleys from the roof.

Anyway, Hayley we look froward to your Monday morning update, make sure you are wrapped up warm, especially if there is snow on the ground !! M
