Probably some friend ,of a friend ,of a friend and a tasty brown envelope for services rendered... Think what you could do with £400k(Or what the Council could do with £400k),it's a serious amount of money!!
Don't know. It's a specialised job and if involved re-engineering new parts, calibration etc it would be thousands of hours of work for a handful of professionals in the UK with specialist knowledge and specialised machine work. How much is spent on consultants to have management meetings.. it's a lot of money but relative. It's being fixed as part of the guarantee.
Why do we even need it fixing though? Surely it does need to work anymore and can just be in situ as a tourist attraction? As Ric has said, 400k would go along way with community projects or other ways to improve the City centre.
Fairly sure Radio H*mberside reported last week that it has modern workings, it's raised by magnets, steady Ric. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
Warm here, I might water the garden with the hosepipe for a few hours. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
