   Just thinking...

   Those trees look a bit lonely. How about draping some lights between the white discs - or even (radical idea) installing lights into / shining onto the discs, to make the discs themselves part of the display...

   SB1, 1:41pm, attempt 1 (two previous posts sent within last 5 mins got through first time!)

   Mittfh, you've triggered a question that I've been wondering about for ages...

   Just what are those discs for????

   FF: My guess is that it's Braille (you know, like you get on some medicine packs). Presumably, if you run your fingers across it, it will read "BBC". Alternatively, the message might read "For sale".

   Big Sister - That's just being silly!

   Any fool can see that they are the buttons for a giant squeezebox/accordion. If you have ever been round the far side of the building you will have seen the keyboard. No bellows are needed for operation, as sufficient wind is generated by the occupants of the building.

   Well, Loon, I never saw a 26 pack of those. However - and this is a eureka moment - they do strongly resemble one of those blister packs of antibiotics, don't you think?

   Big Sister - Do you know how sad that is - that you should actually count the discs? :o)

   As regards blister packs of medicaments, I couldn't comment. Mine are always given to me in a little plastic cup in the morning and then again last thing at night, just before they lock the doors.
