More tales from the end of the 1980s
‘When does the next one go up’? That was the question posed by a foreign ‘towrist’ as she stood below the gondola cable car on the gantry outside Nevisport. She thought she had missed the previous one and was waiting for another gondola to come along. It IS close to the transport centre, right enough.
You’ll recall I was complimentary about the speedy way the new town toilets were made ready in Station Square. But there was a hiccup because the ‘communal urinal’, in all its stainless steel glory, wasn’t delivered in time. So the standing ovation for the official opening has had to be postponed. But now, you’ll be mightily relieved to learn, progress is being made as the complete contraption has arrived. But, and here’s the rub, it is too large to go through the door of the conveniences. Thus the urinal is being installed once council workmen have removed a large window to allow it through. Clochemerle hadn’t a look-in.
