Hi all.
I've just had a very good experience assembling a
toy I purchased for my daughter's birthday.
Manufactured by a german company named Playmobil,
It is a 'hospital' put together with wall and floor sections using
lugs that are twisted to lock adjoining sections together.
Gotta give the Germans a Hearty round of applause...this Playmobil
stuff is a very
impressive piece of engineering for such a unlikely application.

I hope you're going to let your daughter play with it some time :-)


As a departure from my personal real life a little 'role play' is
helping me.
I have appointed myself as The Playmobil Hospital General Manager and
I have just laid down some company policy.
Rule 1 : Back-chat from female staff is a dismissable offence.

Speaking from my Health Dept. office ( Woolworths gazebo carboard box
) I'm closing your hospital down due to lack of use and moving its
patients to a trust-built unit ( Lego and Sticklebricks ) further down
the road.

Please note that parking at the new facility will be at the rate of £5
per hour for a Hotwheel and £7.50 for anything larger.

Regards,
