It’s absolutely tipping it down at the moment… and the corrugated iron roof that the builders* have constructed outside our room is SO VERY NOISY.
There are three different “projects” that they’re doing around Castle at the moment – as far as I can tell there are no more than 5 workmen on site at any one time. They have a huge budget – ‘cos the University seems to have more money than sense – so they’ve got all these “Electric Ladders”, which means they don’t even need to carry anything. I don’t know if you’ve ever seen the Fawlty Towers episode with “O’Reilly Men”… they are exactly like them!
*I use the term loosely, as they don’t actually appear to be doing any building** at the moment.
**or anything else, actually. Aah, the great British workman. Reminds me of a Max Boyce song…
