Rather petty John, and also very unfair on all who work there.
looks like the titanic
It's more worrying from the outside http://tradingaswdr.blogspot.com/2010/06/change-of-scenery.html
Er, to the other anonymous and the first one for that matter. For your info, it's actually not the Titanic but a diagram of a slave ship a regular but unfortunately unwelcome visitor to the Liverpool docks of some time ago. The ultimate irony is that at least the poor slaves had jobs to go to no matter how shite they were and if they happened to make it to end to the of the journey. Trinity Mirror gave no such alternative to the Liverpool printers circa 200 years later. So not petty at all John.
Sometimes, anonymous posters give too much away with their knowledge. This is about the printers moving to Oldham, it's about a team of hard working journalists moving offices, with Jon seeking to mischief make. So yes, it is petty. But back to your ship spotting
