Yeah I think that's why I'm not that interested really.
When our assembly shop closed, it was the biggest facility in Europe.

1/3rd of a mile long, 180 ft wide and 120 ft high, with 4 cranes rated at 150 tons sitting on tracks 75ft up.
Because the work was transferred to Fr****, all the equipment was left in for a while, just nobody there. I didn't find that eerie, just plain sad. Which makes me so angry. sorry I mean made me angry. :oops:

Anyway it's all been flattened now to be part of the extended container terminal, so it's not sad any more....just ....gone!!
72... AND STILL ROCKIN..........around the world...... NOT in a chair yet

Now XBX And into HDI.....as well as other ...err.... things.

Agree about the places as if they were just walked out of. On that 28 days later site is a nursing home thats in Kettering, it was closed due to lack of funds, but the thing is, its like people are still there, cups of half drunk orange on the side, newspapers open, christmas tree up etc etc They basically must have just rushed in, deposited the old people outside and locked the doors, its fucking criminal. the place is sooooo creepy, its like land that time forgot.
OK, so i've got some stuff, some of it goes, some of it doesnt, some of it never will again!
