Things look pretty scary doon there - some sinister stuff around!

Besides all the glue - were those poor souls lying about the platform electrocuted?  I couldn't help noticing the red and black bare wires looming in the background.

Getting there just after half seven he said 'What's the maths teacher doing here?'  It turned out to be remedial 'Football and Numeracy' :jester:  Who says teachers are all dunderheads?
