This wouldn't happen nowadays and other old photos.

We've seen some horrendous things in India (I bet Crabby has seen more).  One memorable one was a man, with a long handled electric hedge cutter, standing on the back of an elephant to trim a tree.

Electrical junction boxes were crazy.  I took a photo of one in our hotel to show the electrical engineers where I worked.

Woosies. What could go wrong 

When the couple across the road had Sky installed the dish was fitted on the same wall as their front window & a foot above the top of the window so around 8ft.

The installer went up a very short ladder, installed an anchor bolt, secured the ladder to it, went back down the ladder to get the dish, came back up the ladder & carried on fitting it to the wall.

Lol.

India & South America are becoming the countries of choice for pharmaceutical companies because of the non-existent H&S regulations.

Again, using Pfizer as an example, my last job, before Pfizer pulled the plug & moved to either India or South America, was installing three vacuum transfer units which were used to transfer the base powders into the production vats where they were mixed with the solvents.

This was so that no operative came into contact with the chemical powders.

However, each of these three units cost £3 million.

As the plant was being closed down the guy who was in total charge had worked at pharmaceutical plants in India & said that workers would carry bags of the chemicals & manually dump them into the vats.

Also any scaffolding that was needed was erected with bamboo, strapped together with plant vines.

The Concorde at Manchester Airport is in a big hangar next to the cafe. It's very tight in there and I'm not sure there's even room for it to come out.Maybe if they shifted all the picnic tables.

You make me doubt myself Oy  ! My " not that long ago " could be 10 years, and I saw Concorde on a runway from the window of a plane I was sitting on waiting for take off....................................or was I landing ?   😁

I have seen her in the sky when she has flown over..

Coming into Heathrow from Dublin at dusk we were still in sunlight but the ground was in near darkness - then Concorde emerged into the sunlight - this beautiful a/c gleaming white against the dark - fabulous sight.

Is it UCL in Bloomsbury? It has a dome which was completed before 1926?
