I looked at the photo. Have you got a measurement?


125 feet


Excuse me sir, why is the ceiling 125 feet high when the people in it are shorter than 7 feet high? And why not have a few columns inside to hold the roof up instead of huge expensive trusses that can fall down?

In answer to your second question, so stupid people don't bang their heads on the pillars and claim 15 million quid compensation because they didn't learn to walk properly.
