Reminds me of all the talk about the BT Keybridge House building in SW8 and what actually went on in there

There was another building in the City, the doors were locked, rubbish in the entrance, windows had 1cm of grime and it looked unoccupied.

To get in, you went into the adjacent building, up to the 5th floor, found the sandwich/coffee machine and went through the door of a cleaners cupboard tucked away to one side. Then you could go down to the 4th, 3rd, 2nd, 1st and basement - Ground was unoccupied to keep the outward appearance.

Sounds like quite a lot of exchanges. Last week I was on the 2nd floor but locked in an area that I couldn’t get out of without going up to the 6th floor using the stairs, through an abandoned office, to the other side of the building and then down the stairs to the ground. I’m sure Zarjaz can relate!

Most of the exchanges are in a terrible state.

I wouldn't want to tread on the rotten roof. Leaking and damaged from where the heating has been removed. It's only the asbestos, cobwebs, undergrowth and accumulated rubbish holding most of them together..

Sounds like a dodgy landlord hasn't been keeping on top of the upkeep and maintenance...

Who needs a roof?

A friend of mine who worked at Capenhurst at the time said the staff there were amused by the numbers of BT vans which ysed to go there,

Cheers!

Everything is outsourced. The building maintenance is done by CBRE, and they’re rubbish.

Interesting! And I’ve read about that building before. But if the rumours are correct it was a government tower tapping BT’s microwave link. So there wouldn’t be BT vans anywhere near it. I’m sure the BT vans were in Capenhurst due all the time due to the poor quality of the network round there.

Anyway-you’re all reading a bit too much into what I said!
