    how do you actually get into the tower?
    Philip's never been there. Give them a call and ask for Mick who runs the security.

    What a let down. I was quite looking forward to Phil's pics, not realising they were scanned from a third party. Oh well, here's a few more of mine.

As much as possible was taken up via the crane, rather than inside.
    the reflection of the top of the photographers head and the camera makes this picture even more quirky

    Dave, I'm sorry you can't understand English when it's written, but I never said I had any of my pics from the tower.
    What I did say was I had a lettercard, which I've posted.
    You can dredge up parts of my quotes to suit yourself.
    I could perhaps do the same about yours.
    I think your'e about the only person who has ever used the unforgivable "C" word on here.
    Apologising after doesn't negate it.

    Rant over.

    I missed that post. Where did you post that you had a lettercard. Apologies in advance, I missed it. However, I'd appreciate a link to the post. Thanks

    Scroll up.
    It's near the beginning of the thread.

    I know you've read it, because you quoted from it!
    A selective quote, of course.

    I remember when it was done up to make it look like a flying-saucer coming in to land.
    It had pulsating coloured lights. Mid-1990s. Any pics around?
