In the workshop! I'll be honest and say I'm not sure what if anything this will prove, we have now fitted glow in the dark arrows on the roof and inversion "escape lights" which are two sets of led's facing forwards at the rear exit so you can find your way out in total darkness.

I don't think there's much of a problem with the half a brain, it's the backbone that'll be the problem.

Yes we're good to go - finally got a temporary measurement certificate in PDF form in an email yesterday!
Passed the escape exercise in record time and everyone was wondering what all of the fuss was about.

You can keep an eye on Cookee's progress here:
