not too far off, one of their boffins (then in his 50s) was with his mates getting stoned in the basement, he is very much into eco friendly hippy stuff so decided they should put all the electric light off and return to tribal ways. In the big Ipswich town houses the UKPN service cable enters via the basement to the meter board; so he turned off the incomer and they started howling like wolves, at least until he was berated by his wife and his teenage sons (as of course the telly/radio and most of their computers were also off supply, and the lads were revising for their exams)
you’d think he’d at least have set up a UPS on the router and some solar powered emergency lamps, that way they could have their howling session and test the accus as the same time 😉
I’ve been there a couple of times, it isn’t very interesting inside (most of it is empty) apart from the tower bit and that is locked off big time (partly to stop people jumping off it due to short term employment/layoffs but also as some PRISM project kit is up there). I can see how some bits of it were once a fun place to work in but all those projects got cancelled when the recession bit…
the anagram is because their canteens are notoriously bad, I feel sorry for all the Asians who get sent there, they must send back skype messages (when the broadband works) about “bad weather, unfriendly natives and appalling food”…
