In reply to Arms Cliff:
Because a) I don't know that the depot have bought it as I said and b) becuase I'm a miserable sod who will lament the days of the freezing cold, leaky roof, cup of tea and chips for a couple of quid, crap bouldering mats but good problems and routes when it is turned into somewhere that sells espressos for £2.50 and cake for a fiver while being well lit and well run and heaving with people. The business interests of the place are not in line with my own interests.
In other words don't listen to my recommendations as they will not be aligned with the commercial viability of the place.
Plus you can barely breathe in the depot because of all the chalk dust.
