Ace, this thread gives me an opportunity to wheel out one of my old jokes...

When I was on Holiday recently, the hotel had an elevator made by 'Schindler'...

Hence, we often hilariously found ourselves in 'Schindler's Lift' biggrin
When I went for an operation last year, the last thing I remember before being given the "countdown from ten" speech before GA was descending in a Schindler's lift hehe

And don't forget that if you go to the olympics and want to pay for something using a card it must be a visa one. No mastercard, amex etc. Also, if you need to withdraw cash from an atm in the olympic park, you can only use a visa card.

Worked late in an office in Boerhamwood once and after midnight the lift would tell you you were arriving on the 13th floor. (On;y four floors in the building.)

Was quite cool I thought, but I don't remember the manufacturer.

According to my road atlas, it appears to still be 'Reading'.

I think you may have missed the joke here.

(Hint: It doesn't have to have the same spelling to sound the same... there would be a lot of amusement if they had to answer the phones 'Good morning, Otis... Reading')

OK.

Never been to 'Reading' BTW

I believe I once drove through Sluff.

Also in Burkeshire, I think.
