Charging you for changing the clock on the stairwell lights? That's not necessary. What are they playing at?
There's a device designed to keep track of sunset and sunrise and automatically turn lights on and off at the right time throughout the year. It's called a Sangamo Timer, it costs £150 and they've been made in the same factory in Port Glasgow since 1950. They're wonderfully elaborate clockwork devices with off-centre gears that gradually move a pair of arms to change the on/off times as the seasons change. They're incredibly low-maintenence and can keep going for years. That's what makes them so popular.
Every tenement I've ever lived in has a Sangamo Timer. Every supermarket car park uses a Sangamo Timer to control the lights.
Your factors are taking the piss. |
