That's odd. A scissors platform sounds perfect for the job, or is it
much higher than it looks?



As ever these stories seem incomplete, AIUI it's not that they can't
change them, but H&S conserns.

I assume there are issues with the building being used 24/7, lots of
staff/public around, the height of the lamps, the machinery needed, the
amount of space you might need to cordon off etc. Dunno, but it's got to
be somethign to do with that sort of thing.

The usual bull****, I would have done it in a day with an extending
ladder.

How long is your extending ladder?

(and you do realise there are 120,000 lamps to replace?)

Why hasn't anyone thought of extendable magician's tongs?

Because you just made them up.

They do exist, but not necessarily that long. But an invention can always be improved.
