268.0. "CRESCENT BURNS DOWN" by COMICS::PEWTER () Tue Mar 06 1990 16:46

    
    In case you haven't heard, The Crescent burnt down this morning.
    First reports are that no one was hurt. It apprently started in
    the roof and then spread around the whole of the top floor. Several
    cars were damaged in the car park. Last count was 12 fire engines,
    including some from Reading and surrounding roads have been closed.

    Going now a rathole here, it might have been nice if the old 
    Crescenters could have been invited back to have a tour of the 
    building in its new form.

    They are making a Video on New Working Practices - which is wot we're
    doing here at the Crescent.
    
    I was here before the fire - it hasn't changed much.  No offices for
    Managers and I certainly have less space but apart from that, it looks
    and feels much the same.
    
    From what I hear only about 30 people that were here when it burnt down
    are actually moving back in

	Does the canteen still produce Black Pudding like charcoal ?

	Does the juice still consist of 80% water, 10% green bits, and
	10% orange ?

	Do the fried eggs still come with their own personal fat lake ?


	We need to know...

    Ah, if only they'd let the ex-Crescenteers move back INTO the Crescent.
    
    Mark (for whom the Crescent is 15 minutes from home, but Newbury is
    50!).

    It cuts both ways Mark. I'm now significantly further away from the
    Crescent than I was when I worked there. (-:
