Reminds me of a brand new factory in Jo`burg. Solid concrete walls and a
tin roof. And nnot a single socket or light that worked.
The contractor brought in to fix it spent 20 minutes looking and then
said `Fuck that - get the Kangas` and simply chipped new channels for
*everything*. Laid in pipe conduit and got wiring.
Before the days of computers that was, let alone networking. We used Telex.
