Anyone got a guess what that might be for?

Suggestions from around the office are boring or not that funny:

Lifts.
Tube Tunnel being built the wrong way up.
Launch tube for anti-satellite missiles.

It's the Circle of Death, Of Course.

Chavpit - Like Dog pit but for Chavs, you know the rest.

It's just a Hole. Police are looking into it.

One of those Round things.

Ice skating rink for Midgets.

Whatever it is its causing fights amongst the builders. I didn't get my phone out in time to get a photo, but we had two groups of builders fighting over it. One of them went so far as to pick up a spade and started to swing it at another builder before the foreman managed to intervene. First we heard was the foreman yelling across the site "OI OI OI OI OI!", queue half our floor rushing to the windows to see what was going on :D

Is that soil? With the trees over on the right are we looking at some kind of roof garden?

its too low for a roof garden, that's effectively ground floor. It has a fairly deep basement on that site that gives a false impression of height. I'm only up on the third floor, taking that picture looking straight down.

Yeah it looks to be soil though. Really strange.
Belmit
07-03-2008, 14:49
Ah, I thought it was the roof of an adjoining building. In that case...... regular garden? ;D

We were discussing this in the office. One guy suggested it would be for a tree, but others observed its a little shallow for tree roots.

"Oh, I know, maybe its for like a bonsai tree. A giant bonsai tree"

Everyone just turned and looked at him.

He did eventually twig ;)

I think the phrase is EPIC FAIL! (look at rear right wheel)

Pure genius reversing a crane truck backwards over relatively freshly laid soil that has been rained on almost constantly for the past couple of days.

Think we need to caption that with "FAIL CRANE" and use it over there! :D

Is it one of those 'pieces of art' that they are installing round London.

Saw a plug last night in the London Paper and thought of this :p
