How long does it take Apple to build a store?

[DR]

Seems like a lifetime - I come to SF about every 4 months for meetings, and they still have not finished the store which is down here - sux

[Gordy]

Its because they want all their stores to be identical so they have to do a lot of work

mmkay...

[Gordy]

"The London store is expected to open by Christmas."

Now that does the take the pish slightly

I have had mixed reponses, some people wanting the INQ to sack me for typos, and some people praising it - guess it is the fan boy problem

That's extremely sad that you can't now take pictures of building sites... Only in America!

[Gordy]

Happens in the UK too Friend of mine worked on the new parliment offices and they had very strict controls about pictures being taken. Didnt stop them being taken tho

I would understand that as they're sensitive buildings, and piccies of buildings in their early stages would be just as good as blueprints for those terrorists!

But shops? FFS!
