Answer: One is the box containing the key to the fire escape, the other is the distance to said fire escape.
The Interesting part is that my office is in between these two points.
Scenario: A fire blocks the main everyday door from safley beeing used. Yours truly and three colegues are then trapped in the our offices. We have the uncofortable choice of a) approaching burning area to receive potentially red-hot key and then scarpering back down the coridoor to the fire escape or b) burning in our rooms.
N.B. Although on the ground floor, escape via the windows is not an option as these are barred up.
I'm sure this all looked very good on paper when someone drew up the regulations, but the stupidity of the situation astounds me.
Lets just hope there isn't a fire ..... oh I forgot, the building is still wired with a 1960/70s installation and fuse box and too many kettles switched on at the same time fuses the whole thing.
Hmmm, definitely a rock and hard place scenario, but you'll be fine, sacrifice a colleage, or two...
ReplyDeleteI am sure you have enough curtains to make an escape rope?

In my primary school entry to the gymnastic hall was below the floor, so there were stairs along the wall of hall, going 2 meters down.
at the end of the stairs there was doors, opening in such a way, that when opened, stairs were blocked by them, and when closed - well - nobody could go into gymnastic hall.
So when class were going to the gymnastic hall, the doors have to be opened and closed like 15 times, because 2 people could stand stand between door and stairs at once.
This incredible design lasted thorugh all 8 years of my education :)
@ajuc, That description of the school beats mine hands down :) Its great!
