*Sigh* Ok. This was many years ago so admittedly the details may be fuzzy but this was the owner of the place who took me up to the rooftop to show me his helipad. It was a helipad alright but not built to anything approaching international standards. It might have fit a Dauphin with a few inches to spare but there wouldn't have been any room to disembark the passengers. As I recall, it was denied certification at that time. I think we might be talking different timeframes here, not that you stopped to ask me first before jumping in headlong with a stern rebuke. My god man, you even find fault with my characterization of the food. You insufferable know-it-all Limey ****.

Oh dear, Mr Revolutionary is touchy at being caught out spouting nonsense! Why should I ask you about the timeframe you were talking, when you just quote something as a fact?
I used to live in the Holiday Inn in 2013 and was also shown the helipad by the owner, though an Everett 365B2 Dauphin made the first landing there in 2010. It is available to view on You Tube. When I last assisted in offloading 6 passengers from a Dauphin on the roof, there was more than enough space for them and all their baggage and then to fit the blade tie-downs before leaving the helicopter parked there.
The pad is licensed as a private category aerodrome by the TCAA

You would do well to check your facts first before insulting others you don't know with derogatory remarks. I will not lower myself to your level.
