I don't know how big these trains are, but I think it's possible they won't actually use them "as is" and will strip the tables and seats out to create more space. Like, lessons won't be conducted in groups of four facing each other with a table in the middle and teacher pacing up and down the aisle.

Pacers are usually more like buses inside than the table group of four. It is possible that they'll strip the seats out if they happen to be those slightly comfier retrofit ones and replace them with plastic chairs, because otherwise the idle kids might rest their backs.

Converting into a kitchen is the most bizare one. You would need to retrofit plumbing, electricity, ventilation, insulation and would still end up with something awkwardly shaped and a metre off the ground.

I have a friend who converts stuff into burger vans and it’s surprisingly easy to do. You use huge water bottles, generators, and gas bottles and freeze your arse off in winter or get lucky and get it hooked into the electricity supply so you can run a small heater.

No see it's recycling! Reuse! It's because we care about the environment. Please make an inspirational facebook video about how we're saving the planet through plonking old trains in places. Please also ignore all other tory policies pertaining to climate change. Our logo is a tree.

goddamnedtwisto posted:My primary school had two Portakabins in the playground which never made any sense because the school was small enough that there were just one class in each year which had a fixed classroom each. I think I once had a couple of classes in one because there was a broken window in my normal room, but apart from that they just sat there enigmatically taking up already extremely limited space. Then they got moved to the nursery school round the corner when it was "discovered"[1] that the original 1950s building was basically lead-enriched asbestos, where they're still somehow in use. Kinda their fault for not using off-planet builders IMO. Sorry but couldn't resist.

WhatEvil posted:My secondary school had a set of "temporary huts" which had been there since the 60s. They were still there when I left in 2001 but I think they ultimately got rid of them a few years later. The Portakabin classroom at Inverurie Academy was installed in November 2000 and was still in use when construction began on the new Academy in 2018. You do not, under any circumstances, need to "hand it to" the cunts who are responsible for terrorism in the Middle East.

Miftan posted:Ambulances are apparently much easier to convert than most things since they have a lot of stuff like electricity already wired in. I dunno if it's still the case but they used to all be 24V electrics meaning literally nothing that wasn't original equipment or ripped out of a Chieftain tank would work in them[1] - there used to be a thriving little grey market converting the Bedford and early Transit ambulances into campers and everyone got excited when the newer LDV ones with the much bigger rear area started to come along, as obviously they'd be much better for that use, but the difficulty of converting them back to 12V killed that off. They *do* get used for burger vans because the shape is so convenient but they normally have a separate gas-powered generator for the fridge and other accessories, powered off the Calor gas for the burners, so you can just use conventional 220V kit for ease of install. [1] Well a lot of stuff designed for more expensive caravans, boats, and (particularly American) campers does run at 24V but that's all way outside the price range of the kind of person who wants to convert a 10-year-old ambulance into a camper.

The labour right are actually as bad or worse as the tory right in some ways and this is one of them. As well as, obviously, the labour membership being more sexist and racist about who they want as leader

Guavanaut posted:October 'firebreak' was going around news as a last resort option and twitter as a globalist plot a few hours back but apparently it's NOT happening according to the cabinet so it probably will. Right now hospitalisations and deaths are starting to nudge up a bit, but still spectacularly down on where they were per-case prior to the vaccines and the rate of increase has so far been both fairly linear. Of course schools going back are going to nudge that back up a bit, but the government (and the "opposition") are apparently more than happy to prop up the commercial property market with children's blood so it'd take something truly horrifying for them to be even discussing this, so either this is just the normal cycle of people making up something to get angry with or something really loving nasty - like Mu being able to completely avoid AZ - is on the cards and they're not telling us about it.
