Bestbud was making some well informed points on the other thread whilst I was having a right old moan, at no point was anyone recieving a 'kicking'.

But yes, I accept that fine details can become subjective when parties are in dispute and the exact wording of every sentence can be re-emphasised to twist those fine details one way or another. But the contract was to build an observation Tower that rotated, so we're not exactly discussing the torque to which the bolts have been tightened, nobody is reading the fine details of the spec to see if the shininess(is that even a word) of the towers Titanium coating is exactly as it was contracted to be.
