One of the floors in the Foundry 42 Manchester tour seems to have decorations made for young children, like cartoon-style fishes. Was that in the place before you took it over?

TL;DRThe speakers joke about the cause, then admit they don't know why the decorations are there and think they are probably leftovers from before the studio expanded into the floor.

No. That was requested by our own head of customer service, Ray Ruecroft. He really likes it.

That's not true, is it?

I like that you can't be 100% sure. If you've interacted with Ray Ruecroft, you go, well, that might be... No, I actually don't know why those are there. I think they are left over.

We have Skype calls with Ray from time to time, and we see behind him, and I've always kind of wondered, was this just here or is this the current British decorating taste? Either one is possible, but the former is much more likely. Foundry 42 has been expanding leaps and bounds over the past two years, and they bought the floor under them and the floor above them. Like filling something with foam and it just edges out and you have to have more foam holding area.

So those of you with social media, go tweet Ray Ruecroft and ask him. Maybe he can give us an answer.
