Looks like a false alarm and a waste of an hour.

Only just let back in. But what a cute black Labrador it was...

And, of course, you know that they were just "temporary" buildings. They were never built to last 60+ years and were never expected to be still standing after all those years.

I understand that the Yanks built them (as they did many other "temporary" buildings around the country) for storage during the war. Then the war moved on and so did the Yanks.

Now getting completely off the topic: there is another well used building that the Yanks built which is still in use. It is the Sorrento Restaurant in Cornwall Park. That was built for Yank Officers' R&R but the war moved on before they used it. So instead it was used for St Dunstan's training building for the blind in 1945.

Unknown.
All I know is that while we were waiting, the police were investigating one of the workers there. Taking notes and such.

I really wish it were a real bomb. Then I would have an extra day off.

650962 2008-03-20 07:59:00 I didn't think you worked there any more - I popped into the DS store on a weekday about a month ago and asking for you drew a blank from the staff.... andrew93 (249)
