Electric dreams

It seems a number of BBC staff at MediaCityUK are receiving an extra frisson as they start their day, on top of the joy of working in Peter Salmon's Fun Palace.

Some drivers have reported mild shocks as they attempt to insert passes in the car park barriers - not that painful, but sufficient to make them drop the blessed things, and irritate the queue behind. There are, apparently, grounding mats on the ramps ahead of the barriers - but, in dry weather, there's enough distance to the barriers for static to build up again.

More mats are on order. If you can't wait for that to end the jolts, one know-it-all has suggested that static on clothing adds to the problem, and arriving naked should sort that out. I'll let you know.
