Friday? Think you’ve had too much already, someone call a taxi please? I’ll take over the morning shift 
What? Is it Saturday already? !!!
It’s so difficult to know what time it is in this windowless concrete cubicle. Only the drip, drip, drip of the water falling from the cracked ceiling to mark the passing of the seconds …

No, unfortunately it doesn’t. An access platform is designed to lift personnel,small tools and light materials to height. These are not being used for that purpose. They are merely parked like the other plant in your picture.
But, because we are rejecting the entire entry, you can submit another picture showing the access platforms being used as described above.

Was going to point out that, grammatically, I’ve gone for the “scissor lift” rather than “cherry picker in use”, but I don’t think that’s going to sway you. 
So fair dos. Back to the hunt 
Indeed not.
[granny suck eggs mode on] Have you thought of ringing the plant hire firm and finding out where their on hire platforms have been deployed? [granny suck eggs mode off]

I did leave saying that if they see a drone I was going to take off somwhere. I never did but just wondered how long they would be looking at the sky…

Sorry for the delay John, it has taken this long to adjudicate - we have been unable to find a River Humber on either Google Maps or on online Ordnance Survey
A bonus was available for
River - marked as such on Google Maps or Ordnance Survey (proof required)
Your proof did not identify the water under the bridge as River Humber
As we have previously allowed a picture of the bridge with an OS map as proof with the words “River Humber” on it and following an intercession on your behalf by a third party we are allowing you all four points
Can contestants please be very careful in checking that their entries fully meet the requirements of each subject?
