[ I'm starting to think that C block is comparatively sane and sensible - BUT we do have a door which says "No Entry" on both sides, and which is permanently unlocked ]

To all cyclists,
Someone broke off my cycle rear lamp yesterday, and then removed it. It was a quite tough plastic strap holding it in position, so would have required some force. I presume it was vandalism rather than deliberate theft, as they left the rest of the fitting on the bike, but they may have been trying to see if the could get the unit off and broke it while doing so.
C'est la vie...

Its the main internal door between the two parts of C block. Why it has 'No entry' on both sides is historical. It also says "Motorsports Division" - we don't own the Boreham campus - we lease it off Fords.

Once this stopped being an airbase, it was taken over by Ford's motorsport division - part of the test track is still here, over by the control tower. The 'No entry' from this side dates back from then. Ford moved away and we moved in in about 2003. Our lease is up in something like 2018, when it may or may not becomce a housing estate.
Until recently, it was actually okay to go through the door in that direction in spite of the sign, but not the other way, so another sign was put up. Now its unlocked to buth directions from 07:30 to 16:30 but outside those hours its PAC-tag access to get from my side to the other, and a push button to go in the opposite direction.
