LIVE THE BRAAI LIFE is the slogan highlighted on the building and there's a windsock on the corner. We were mystified by this. Apart from the fact that very few people would be able to read the slogan as the building faces nothing much, what was it all about? Ah, it's Afrikaans for the outdoor life, camping gas bbqs and all that sort of gear, see; http://www.cadac.uk.com/index.php We wondered if the hierarchy of the company often fly in by helicopter. It's beside the old Great Central railway that used to be the mainline into Sheffield from Chesterfield and the south, before heading on towards Manchester through the Woodhead tunnels. The electrified line across the Pennines that was closed about 30 years ago!
