I've never had to kill a man in cold blood but it was a mercy killing, honest guv.

Why do people do that; go on about stuff that they know nothing about? Tumble is talking rollocks...as you all guessed.

Saw the post and couldn't help but reply.

Hiya all, new user

Hello, new user. Welcome.

Tumble has long since been removed from the board. He worked the last nerve of my button pusher, and had to go.

Thankees Gavin, nice to be welcomed

We have a fantastic lift in my new place of work - it's one of those with only a sliding grille as a door so you can see (and, if stupid enough, touch) outside the lift as you go up.

As it is mainly a cargo lift and not a human/passenger lift, it was designed with function in mind above all else, despite the fact you must be inside the lift to operate it, as it were. It therefore has a very jolty stop at every floor, and doesn't actually meet many of the floors it stops on - there's a 1-2 inch vertical gap. This can be very annoying when pushing a heavy trolley full of books.

The customer lifts are slightly more comfortable but a bit confusing - our building has galleries on Floor 2 and 4 which overlook the floors below, which means that pushing button 2 in the lift gets you, well, nowhere. This has led to consternation amongst customers (and merriment amongst staff) when waiting for the lift to see people constantly re-appearing on the ground floor having continually failed to get to the mythical Floor 2.

I should 'tsk' myself. I haven't even thought to check who built the lifts at my work yet. It'll be the first thing I do on Monday when I get in.

I found out yesterday we had a lift in our building.. I was walking past it every morning, it is well hidden.
(it only has a 1st floor)

Hmm. You should probably check if there's someone trapped inside it.
