Not so, for us lucky residents of the 21st century. Man has long ago learned how to make buildings wind and weather proof. One simply cannot imagine a modern museum where the draughts in the cafe are so strong that you need a fur coat in winter; or a tower which leaks so badly that the Tidal Zone had to be closed for several days because of the water pouring down the walls; or windows in an office that are so ill-fitting that they need to be bound up with sticky tape for six months of the year. No, this could never happen. Not in a modern building.
And it could never be that a short sharp fall of rain could run down the outside of the building and find a way in through the windows and soak the office sitting area. That simply could not happen. This picture must simply show a modern art installation. Those buckets can surely not be used to collect the rain could they. Could they?
Still it keeps Trevor and the Phils happy. Although they did say that they would wait until the rain had stopped before going out onto the roof to disocver the cause. Chickens!
Now, where am I on the furious scale ... ?
