Lol, do they actually know what they are doing?

They had some guy called Giles who knew his way around a machine, he left and if something goes wrong they all gather round and get nowhere :)

Still no ideas on that machine haha.

giles was the main engineer he left coz a new contract was written up and he told henry morton to shove it up his bentley....pmsl giles was offered an engineers's position at another arcade on the other side of the green at another arcade

most of the easy repairs was left to the polish floorwalkers who spent most of the time filling pushers wi swag
