Leveller Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 24/7 means "all the time" - i.e. 24 hours a day and seven days a week. 18/12 has no obvious correlation to this and no obvious meaning whatever.

London expats Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 South stand was clear but way too loud. It's impossible to have a pre match conversation. Seems strange can't have seats in a concourse due to H/S but a possible emergency tannoy that doesn't work is ok surely this should be fixed as a matter of urgency. Mr Kelly all you need to do tomorrow night is stand in the crowd and listen for yourself ? Not wait for reports from tape recorders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denbury Red Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I moved from the Dolman to the Lansdown stand this season and reckon the PA system is actually worse in the Lansdown. You can see Downsie with the mike right up to his mouth - has he actually tried pulling it away from his mouth to see if that helps. I am lucky enough to go to Anfield fairly often and the system there has been fantastic for years - the same guy can be heard so clearly it is equally clear when you watch Liverpool on tv.

Might help identify where the main issues are. With all due regards to your concerns and efforts surely the responsibility for ensuring a fit for purpose PA system lies with the supplier and someone at the club should be insisting that it is sorted pronto. Can't believe the statement that recordings of Saturday's game were being monitored to assess the PA performance. Get the PA supplier's engineers in the ground during a first team match so that the monitoring can be carried out in real time and adjustments made to ensure satisfactory results. Back in the 60s that's what we did with Dennis Langley when I was involved with the PA supplier's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which we recognise as hours, as in 24 hours per day. So, as the second number is 7..... Hours x 7...the answer is 7 hours. There, that's that sorted.

Yeah, but... what's the 'recognisable period' about the first number, 3 in the 3/7 formula sir? 3 men in a boat? 3 points for a win? So could the 'recognisable number' actually be the second number? I get the '52' as weeks in a year and '7' as days in a week. If so, then the '18' seems a bit of a wide ball to me. Anyhows, I managed to get 2 out of 3 correct so that's a 1200/400, and a 'pass'.
