I keep telling you to get it fixed before someone gets hurt. It might (have been, or will be) you.How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

Some blocks of flats in Earls Court have a lift which only goes to the top floor if the owner of the flat occupying the whole top floor inserts a key, and then they can step practically straight into their sitting room. How cool is that?
(Maybe the answer is "not very" if the lift's clanking and whirring keeps them awake half the night )Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

It seems to me, *every* lift in America (if all the movies I've seen are to be believed), have a 'stop' button or switch, which will stop the thing mid-floor, for a barney or some romance to take place.
I've never seen a stop button in a lift!
Has anyone ?Comment
