Lol I had this too
Coffee is always a good idea.
RAAC is autoclaved, and I'm pretty sure that that would affect the structure of coffee grounds.
I'm no expert but I'm going to go out on a limb and say:
-
We cheaped out on infrastructure decades ago, knew it was probably a bad idea but kicked the can down the road so it'd be someone else's problem one day and now that's us.
-
The solution is to fix thing properly and not cheap out and kick the can down the road again, which is absolutely what we're going to do.

I love the ambivalence here... What is "which"? And do I really want to know?
Oh yeah sorry, that wasn't very clear! I meant we're absolutely going to cheap out and kick the can down the road again lol.
Up until recently I worked in schools IT and we did a shit load of work on major network refits and came across so many buildings that just needed condemning. And asbestos. So much asbestos.
A lot of schools standing today were built cheaply and fairly carelessly during the baby boom of the late 50s and 60s and were only expected to stand for 30 years. These should have been pulled down and rebuilt by the turn of the millennium (and, in fairness, many were, especially in the early 2000s) but a lot are still standing. Why spend ยฃ10m building a new school when you can keep the old one open for ยฃ2m/year in extra maintenance costs?
What can be done? Rebuild and fix them! You have the money, and if you don't, maybe stop funding the extravagant lifestyles of the leeches and pedophiles that you call the Royals.
