Corporate Suit Chute.

In miserable old blighty, it's hard to remember that some office workers are currently sweating through another sweltering day. At least, it is until [UnaBubba] reminds you...

When you work in a small office, it's easy to forget that some people have to cue up to use the elevator. Well, until [silverstormer] mentions it...

So for people who are too busy or too hot to enjoy the Saunavator (yesterday's idea), or for those allergic to pine, I've come up with the Corporate Suit Chute. Still designed to de-stress workers as they leave the office at the end of a tough day, this one cools you down, whilst allowing more throughput.

Deposit your clothes in the dumb waiter - they'll begin their decent to the ground floor. Fling yourself into the chute, the sort you'd find at a water park. You find yourself hurtling down 30 storeys, the wind whistling through your hair, the water splashing everywhere, and revitalising your senses, interesting twists and turns.

You laugh as you precariously swerve to avoid crashing into Joanne from the 23rd floor who joins you at a tube junction (there are entrances to this elaborate slide on every floor). Eventually, you land in the small pool on the ground floor, and quickly get out, before the next worker crashes down behind you. The physical danger is a welcome change from the 8 hours of office mediocrity.

As you get out of the pool, your work worries lost somewhere around the 17th floor, an assistant hands you a particularly fluffy towelling robe, and a piece of Turkish delight. You don't have to have Turkish delight if you don't like it.
