You could well be right, they certainly well involved in whatever, as they never saw me just a few feet away.

It's a good job they weren't standing by that box otherwise it could have put a whole new slant on the interpretation (and made it NSFW too!)

What Exactly Is A Riser Inlet Again?
Dry riser
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dry riser inlet found at the ground floor of flats to be used during fire fighting in Singapore
A dry riser inlet box at Park Street Car Park in Cambridge, United Kingdom.

A dry riser is a main vertical pipe intended to distribute water to multiple levels of a building or structure as a component of the fire suppression systems.

The pipe is maintained empty of water. The dry riser is the opposite of a "wet riser" or "wet standpipe" system where the pipes are kept full of water for manual or automatic fire fighting operations. Dry risers have to access fire engine within 18 m of the dry riser inlet box. Dry risers in occupied buildings have to be within a fire resistant shaft, usually one of a building's fire escape staircase enclosures.

Depending on regional nomenclature, the term "dry riser" may refer to a standpipe, intended to provide water to fire hose connections, or a vertical main pipe in an automatic dry pipe fire sprinkler system. A dry standpipe comprises a fire department connection, e.g. Storz, which is an external access point at ground level through which water can be pumped from the fire department's fire engine pump to firefighters' fire hose attachments on each floor, whereas a dry pipe fire sprinkler system is a network of pipes connected to fixed sprinklers inside a building, which are full of air until one of the sprinklers is triggered.

Thanks, I'm better informed for that, but I'm not sure that those lassies are any the wiser.

From the look of the photo, I think it made their pants tighter.

Maybe it was a Wet Riser after all and shrunk things to fit.

That's it. They[I ]are[/I] sitting on the Riser Inlet. A "Riser" is what happens to a young man when he sees tight pants and an open blouse, and the "Inlet" is....well.....you get the picture. Two fine riser inlets here.

Aye but seating choices are always better, when redheads are involved too.
