I thought we had already done that.


I thought we'd had "more solar than coal" one bright saturday?

There was a subtle difference this time, no coal at all and it was
classed as on a "working Day" by the BBC thereby giving added fuel to
the argument that many 9 to 5 fivers in cushy jobs don't consider all
those people providing,services , healthcare, and vast numbers of the
self employed keeping their heads above water are actually working at
weekends and are doing it for fun.


at one point in the 1960s, there was new cleaners' contact at Television
Centre. As a result the toilets were only cleaned on Monday to Friday. No
matter that the studios were busiest at the weekend!
