flexible floor space for leisure activities


Is that like the sprung flooring they have in dance studios?


Diving boards?

Yes Boltar.

If you are asking a question, it is usual to indicate this by the use of a
question mark.


Indeed, not to mention big letters for the important words.

Nah, I live in south London where good old fashioned static noise (as
opposed to interference) ...


Technically, it is "white noise", I believe.


Indeed, thanks, for whatever daft reason that simple term escaped me
at the time.


on the FM dial is rarer than a ticket
inspection on Southern or Southeastern's 'metro' trains. These towers
may be many things, but I think it's unlikely they're going to be at
the top of the pirates hit list - they're the new type of towers, with
a mix of ownership, social housing and offices, with concierges at the
entrances etc - not the badlands of old.


Despite their poor reputation in the United Kingdom, I believe there
is a market for the right type of "high rise” condominium homes.
They are clearly not for families with children. *But, given a
doorman, and added security, they are ideal for students, professional
couples, and some retired folks, etc. *The concept is reasonably
popular in these United States.


Indeed, they exist here already - this Finsbury Park development is
just such an example.

Perhaps they'll install the cables in advance so it all looks neat;)...

If the United Kingdom really liberalized her broadcasting Laws, it
might not be an issue. In the mid 1980s I lived, and worked, in
Louisville, Kentucky. Downtown in front of the Public Library was
(is?) a green. On that green stood a large FM radio tower. Inside
the Library were (are?) the studios of WFPL (Jazz and News), and WFPK
(Classical).

Right next door to the Public Library was a High Rise block of
Condominiums. On top of the Condo tower at the same height, roughly
as the WFPL/WFPK antenna, was another FM Antenna. One of the
Condominiums was leased to, and was the studios of, hard rock station
WLRS.

At that time Louisville had 25 FM radio stations. London had three,
BBC London, LBC, and Capital, plus the National R1/2, R3 and R4.

IMHO it is time to end the pretence of impartiality and allow a free
market of ideas on the UK broadcast spectrum. This might be a good
election platform for Mr. Cameron. He might in enjoy considerable
support from Mr. Murdoch.

Imagine all those London Towers with legitimate FM transmitters atop!

It depends on terminology, too.

In Greek, questions end with ";" I leave it as an exercise to the reader
to discern whether or not that is a question mark.
