I was there yesterday and at Joiner Street you're basically walking along the side of one wall of the Shard.

As before, I spoke to a man coming out of the Shard and he sat and we had a chat. He works on the firedoors! He also works on the firedoors within the gold Queen's Gold carriage coach and also within the Guildhall. Quite an expert then. He also said he really loved this job. Happy workers!


So I've talked with scaffolders, fire door workers, I would love to talk with a project manager - I wonder how many of those there are.


Immediately next to the Shard and part of the complex is what looks like another building. But as al four sides of the Shard are now being glazed, I could not work out what this other building is. Car park maybe? Very very very tall building in its own right and within the same compound.

The Eiffel Tower will still be a few ft taller than the Shard


Is it true that no buildings will be built in London higher than the Shard due to building restrictions and safety?

      I hate to be that guy but i don't think you'll get much joy calling 999 if your phone has been stolen.

      Unless you are watching it 24x7 then its hard to qualify that its not being used. Unless you are a business overlooking it of course. Personally I am reassured we still have phone boxes as they provide a valuable emergency use. If you are mugged for you phone, you can call 999 from them, if your house or business is on fire and you run out without a phone you can dial 999 from them. Some people don't have a mobile so its potentially reassuring for them knowing they can call someone if they feel unwell whilst out.  Just because some people don't see value in an object, doesn't mean others don't.

      Hardly a non-story @malumbu still one of the lead stories on the BBC.....you clearly don't understand when to serve humble pie! 😉  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvgk40l8jm7o   Absolutely. It's a disaster. And for this government, who were happy to tell us they had 14 years to prepare to lead, it has been one self-inflicted disaster after another since they took over. To be honest the signs were there when they were in opposition but I think we all gave them the benefit of the doubt as they weren't the Tories and now they have the reigns the additional scrutiny that brings is tripping them up.
