    Hi GQ,

    Thanks for the picturesque report on BT's top secret classified underground storage facilities, the high-tech monorail surprises me somewhat, I was envisaging a 1930's era art-deco styled streamlined steam train.. attended by swiss engineers in full railway garb with highly polished oil cans at the ready...

    Maybe like this one.



    That's says it all, style, design and function...

    Regards
    Ray

    Well Ray, to Molify your aesthetic concerns somewhat I should point out that I got a chance to hold that very oil can, and now I will not rest until I have one or two.

    The monorail runs with Swiss precision, but its unlike anything you've ever seen: it has one giant wheel protruding through the carriage, tended by comely swiss lasses wearing a modified lederhosen outfit with oil cans and an attentive expression. Once the thing gets going the crew performs a slap dance as seen at the Heidelburg castle during tourist season. I found it an exotic yet tasteful display of that Swiss precision juice in action. Recommended, but not for the youngsters.

    Hi GQ,

    Tis the night for working late...

    Ahh...the difficult blend of exotic with tasteful, done with the sort of precision only the swiss have completely mastered...

    Lederhosen, really?.. hmm... I was expecting they would be wearing low cut dirndl's....

    Still it's a great mental picture....

    Regards
    Ray
