Nice one international-one. It's always good when forumers ask questions to anyone on site, you never know what you may get out of a conversation.

Just to show my age - I remember asking a site worker how tall the Deutsche Bank building on London Wall was going to be when that had started construction in 1993 (?) I believe. I'll never forget the answer I got - "oh, fairly tall I think" I was the most overexcited and ultimately underwhelmed person in London

A third worker has finally been spotted on sight, it has taken about 40 photos for there to finally be 3 workers in the same shot at once!

Hopefully it's one of the (14?) steels that will become the one of the large diagonal/angled pieces...

That was you?

To be fair I was looking up as well so probably my fault. Or completely different incident.

I misread that, for a good while there I was thinking the hoardings themselves were getting a monthly update! Easy mistake to make given some of the other sites we discuss do seem to pay a lot of attention to their hoardings it seems and possibly worth more merit than the building site they contain.

It's in position today and upright rather than diagnol, could still be one of those parts though.
