    Didnt realise the tower wasnt opened. I know they have changed the interior a bit recently, might have been temporarily closed while this was being completed.

    Great Idea I have to say I know 1 or 2 people who would be greatly interested in this.. I'll be passing it on to them.

    I am looking into the option of a new startup myself an the moment, but I have a job is there anything your group / collection of group's can help me with, even just a pointer sessions etc??

    Would be interesting to see what opinions "someone in the know" has to say about it.
