Zithro, 'fraid I can't agree with you there. Such basic issues as a reliable supply of hot water are pretty damn essential as far as I'm concerned. Willing to rough it OOA, but we shouldn't be asking/requiring people to live in distinctly sub-standard conditions in the UK. Surely there's a health and hygiene issue there!
Can you imagine any other company suggesting its personnel live under those conditions?
What would have been sensible would be to have sorted the accomm, then do the move. But I suspect that as long as their airships are comfortable in their big houses, the rest of us can go hang..........
