GO55 - NEVER say NEVER!

You may remember, way back sometime last year, Eric pondering whether he ought dare mention to Darrell that they'd finally turned our much lamented Aldi (left vacant due to a leaky roof) to open up a storage facility ........


...... not wishing, in any way, to encourage Darrell's propensity to fill every single crevice, nook and cranny of the bijoux Towers with all manner of decorative items of a seasonal type nature, causing even our beloved Mr D in torrid and exotic Mexico to remark that we must be living in a real live Tardis ......


Well, it was only a matter of time  ....... and you can never say never!!!!!!!


Soooooo, Welcome to Unit G055!  Our all singing, all dancing, very generously proportioned, telephone box sized lock up,  To be honest, we feel like characters from Only Fools and Horses with this new development, we'll leave you to decide who is who. 


It's a long and complicated tale with, unfortunately, a sad story, that we decided to keep under wraps our beloved followers. Too long and complicated to go into detail here, but, let's just say, it's only a temporary measure while we try to sort through a mahoooosive collection of Lego (I know ????), that we inherited from a family member, which we decided, after a full and frank family debate (none of which got heated) to sell, as we don't really "do" Lego.


However, I think you can imagine Eric's excitement at "possessing" such a property, especially when it's all managed solely by app ........


......... there's absolutely no one on site, you just open said app on your phone and it's like "open sesame", from the main gate outside, to the sliding front door and even the lock to our unit! 


It's quite something to behold and let's just say, that the little fella needs no excuse to go up there to wander up and down all it's endless, long, faceless yellow corridors, not really good idea if you're feeling a little off colour yourself and help collect the latest set of boxes.


Our only worry is that he might well wear out the mechanics before we actually vacate the building!  What on earth is he like?

No-one on site? I assume you are satisfied with the security. I hope Eric doesn't decide to don his hi-vis vest and hard hat, and appoints himself as the security down there.

Mrs. D. and I stayed at a hotel with no-one on site. The advert on Booking, com said nothing, in this regard - naughty. Plus the door upstairs did not lock correctly, with the magnet. Very naughty.
