Actually, I've just realised, it's only our rear windows that open fully, the front ones don't.
I guess they don't mind us leaping to our deaths, they just don't want us landing on the tourists.

Do please keep us up to date on any other observations you may make

Thanks!

nor do mine
clearly in case people fling themselves out.

they only open if we have a proper fire alarm, ie not a drill. then they open diagonally to let out all the smoke, so that the poor lawyers can stay at their desks.

ours open
but you have to stand there for an age cranking a tiny handle (fnar fnar) to get em open. presumably this is to give you consideration time, or, if you're well liked enough, for your colleagues to notice you've been sobbing while attempting to open the window for ten minutes and maybe you need to be sat down with a cup of tea somewhere safer..
