Re: The Thyssen-Krupp Group Of Companies

I've not heard of them, but I would like to hear more about them.

I think this could be a very uplifting thread!

They have OTIS escalators and lifts where I work, and have a very posh English voice telling you that you're on "Level 6. Stand clear, doors closing."

It's galling when even mechanical time-saving devices are talking down to you.

Oh, in other news, I sense Tumble Tower has a new book to promote...

You can't beat an Otis lift. Although it always reminds me of that aardvark.

Forgot to ask if the engineer was able to fix the Marks and Spencer escalator?

Go on. I could do with a laugh. Elaborate.

[Sput]

They were indeed. In fact, as luck had it, they were connected physically by a set of escalators.

And I still love that jacket even though it oddly has no spine.

I had to laugh when I saw the name of the lifts in our local multi story - Schindlers Lifts. (its a proper company http://www.schindlerlifts.co.uk/ .)
Silly but I thought it was funny.

[Nini]

To look at it, you'd figure if they were a smaller, less professional company they'd have used that a bit more than a wry joke hidden in a URL.

What's so funny about Schindler lifts and escalators, compared to Thyssen-Krupp, Otis, Kone etc?

I bet you get called dense quite a bit.

[Nini]

Right, that's it! Go fuck yourself, I'm ignoring you, you thick little drip.

Ugh.
