TAN: Well, I'm not convinced that the work is as urgent as this report suggests, so perhaps we should…LIN: Oh come on - the building is practically falling down!
DENISE: Sorry Lin - I don't think Tan had finished. We'll get to you in a minute.
LIN: Sorry.
TAN: As I was saying, perhaps we should get a second opinion before we spend any money.
DENISE: Thankyou Tan. What's your opinion Walter?
WALTER: Well, as far as I'm concerned, it's a question of safety. So I think we should go ahead.
TAN: Are you suggesting that someone could get hurt?
WALTER: In my opinion, yes. If you ask me, there is a serious risk of an accident. And it's not a recent problem…
TAN: Are you implying we should have done something earlier?
WALTER: Much earlier. It's a real concern.
LIN: Hear hear!
TAN: In that case, I agree - we should do something now.
JOHN: I think so too.
DENISE: Thankyou Walter. Well, if there's no…
BARBARA: Excuse me Madame Chairperson.
DENISE: Yes Barbara.
BARBARA: What about the problem with parking? There were no places again this morning.
WALTER: Maybe if you got to work on time…
DENISE: All comments through the chair if you don't mind Walter. Parking isn't on the agenda for this meeting - perhaps you could suggest it for our next meeting Barbara. Well, if there's no more discussion - we'll put it it to a vote.
JOHN: Hear hear!
