RMweb Gold teaky Posted November 30, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 30, 2022 I am reminded of somewhere I once worked which had a high level of security. Part of the set up was a tube-like door. You stepped inside, the door rotated locking you in, you applied your thumb & id card, the door rotated again allowing you to exit on the other side. Only one person had trouble: an occasional visitor from the US who always triggered the "only one person at a time" alert. He always had to wait for security to check his credentials and let him through the delivery entrance. 15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That still allows for each one to have a dead grandmother in a suitcase. 1 1 1 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted November 30, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 30, 2022 Any attempt at humour, or at anything come to that, would outrun my mathematical ‘abilty’. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Compound2632 Posted November 30, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 30, 2022 Also, your average adult haddock weighs in at 9.2 kg, so that's just over 800 kg for 88. Really very poor research; clearly this sign was not drawn up by a railway modeller. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
