well yes except that they look like they need Alan Titchmarsh and Tommy
Walsh down there to finish the ceiling, put the lights in the right way
up, clean it all up, finish the paving works, get off the site and be
ready with a bottle of champers.

I suspect that the snagging list is going to be quite long as there are
panels all along the ceiling that are clearly missing and obviously have
not been delivered in time. The fact that the subway is unfinished also
allows workmen to remain on site to continue works.

Apologies for the slight cynicism but I have watched the progress of
this scheme closely and it is evident months of time have been lost in
the early stages and it is a mad dash at the end to achieve
"completion".
