That really reaches up there. What sort of date did your parents have at the top of this? I’m trying to imagine why you’d be up there let alone on a date.

It was my partners parents. He was one of the commissioning engineers and she was a secretary. I think he got her up there on false pretenses and as she was terrified of heights she said yes when he asked her out for a drink in order to get back down to ground level as soon as possible 🙂

The way I feel about heights, I’d do the same, although I might not even go up there to start. 🙂

A great story – I will now think of that every time I stand and gaze up the tower
