All the planning charts and demolition orders have been on display in your local planning department on Alpha Centauri for fifty of your Earth years, so you've had plenty of time to lodge any formal complaint and it's far too late to start making a fuss about it now. [...] Vogon: What do you mean you've never been to Alpha Centauri? For heaven's sake mankind, it's only four light years away you know. I'm sorry, but if you can't be bothered to take an interest in local affairs that's your own lookout. Energise the demolition beams. This parallels Arthur Dent's experience of the notice of the plan to demolish his house: - ...You hadn't exactly gone out of your way to call attention to them had you? I mean like actually telling anyone or anything.' - But the plans were on display...' - On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.' - That's the display department.' - With a torch.' - Ah, well the lights had probably gone.' - So had the stairs.' - But look you found the notice didn't you?' - Yes,' said Arthur, `yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying "Beware of The Leopard". --- Colin cp...@ea... |
