Thanet Earth and the Greenhouse Recount.

After yesterdays post, another tweet from Thanet Earth:

@michaelbookshop Hi Michael, can assure you we do have 4 greenhouses now. Number 4 was constructed autumn 2012 and planting is taking place!

So I phoned them up again and spoke to the same person, it seems they have had a recount and yes they have four greenhouses one of which seems to be new.

To me a major local employer increasing their operation by a large factor is a major local news story, so I asked them if they have a press release, their website is a bit vague about the number of greenhouses: “No definite decision has yet been reached on timetable for construction of the remaining greenhouses, or on the crops they will grow.”

They had a bit of an ask around and then sent me around their telephone system until I reached the inevitable machine and gave up.

I think I have worked out what the problem is, bit like the pyramids and sharpening razor blades, what we have is a mixture of a pointy shape and massive size changing the nature of reality and consequentially making the greenhouses very difficult to count.

I have done an explanatory illustration, the phrase is: “Do not adjust your mind, reality is at fault”
