did they have aircon to remove all the heat ?.

That one suspects that they would be less boastful of a ceiling in the workplace full of asbestos these days?

I had an Irishman at my door last week claiming the asbestos was crumbling at the edge of my roof. I pointed out it was called "mortar", then told him not to f****ng well wake me at 10am again for an "emergency".

[Commander Kinsey]

I get the feeling you think aircon doesn't do that. Care to explain? I suppose you think it adds cold?

Those people should be fined for being anti-nudist.

In my early days as an IBM CE I used to visit a couple of rooms larger than that. The noise was unbelievable, but stopped instantly whenever a male entered the room, and resumed after the Mary Quant lookalikes had looked him up and down. Fixing a machine in the middle of the room was an experience!

No, the vertical bit, like here:
