Jack Straw's Falmer Watch No 50 (4/12/09)

[Jack Straw]

Half a century of Falmer Watches up today. Only another 75 to go.
Beautiful morning today, blue sky and frosty.
The temporary supports stand proudly awaiting the landing of the arch next week.
The whole site is virtually level now, and the complete enclosed area looks ready for the next action.
The earthwork for the Falmer Station concourse extension has started.
"Al Murray", the Foreman who is the spitting image of Al Murray told me that a time-capsule was being burried at the site today.
What would they put in to that?
3 lots of 5 photos coming up.

Thanks. I'm supposed to be quite good at maths. Obviously I need a refresher course.
I've corrected this.

Cheers, JS.

Thank you again.

I don't know how I will celebrate when the arch is erected!

Personally, I will probably be nursing a fresh erection myself.

 

[Everest]

Archtastically fantastic again JS.

The photos are getting more and more like a jumble of metalwork now.
Which is great, unless it's just a jumble of metalwork.

 

[Scoffers]
