Default [OT] Heathrow hires high-wire team to change ... light bulbs

Well, one would have thought that the original design would have included
the mounting hardware for a gondola system. I'm sure this was done in many
arenas with high cieling fitted lighting for goodness sake. What a bunch of
idiots the planning aceptance mob must have been.

Oops - someone did not really think that through at the design stage!

Acceptance is the key.
I doubt they would have designed it to be unserviceable. Only the idiots it was designed for probably thought they could get people to do it a lot cheaper. Maybe the gang that remodelled Windsor Castle.
