Observation skills part II
Dave Likes Cheese's story reminded me of when I was working in the photo labs. 90% of labs these days are in shopping centres. Our lab was situated on the bottom floor of a large centre (one of the largest in the country when it opened. Was named after one of the NSW Colony's Governors if that helps).

When the power fails in shopping centres, they become pitch black catacombs.

The power failed in the entire centre. All the lights and machines went off. No processing was to be done, if we could actually see to do any of it anyway.

We still had customers come in asking for their films to be processed. Including the cun....er....gentleman who when the power failure was pointed out to him, and the generally dark nature of the entire shopping centre was shown to him with a flourish of the hand, asked "Is the power out in the whole place?"

Why is it that idiots are often the most fertile?

Would
said centre be near Campbelltown by any chance?

You should see the movie 'Idiocracy'.

Misskitty,
Said centre is in North Ryde. I now live close to Macarthur, though.

Hmm, that's not entirely relevant.....oh well.
