Anyhow, yesterday the lift got fixed and it was all back on.

A number of people had made different plans so there was much re-arranging to be done by the poor soul tasked with organising the day. All just sorted out by this morning and we are on again.

And then we aren't.

Apparently the MOD have, er, just mentioned that they have drained all the water out of it , making for a hell of a quick descent, with a sudden stop at the bottom, so it's all off. DIY and mowing the lawn for me on Sunday after all.

But it got me wondering, just out of curiosity really, how long would it take to empty and refill the thing? Almost as long as it takes me to fill the kids paddling pool I shouldn't wonder.
I suppose it depends if they remember to put the plug in when they re-fill it
