The lift in Marian's block of flats is great. It's made by my favourite lift company - every time I travel in it I can look at the maker's plaque and say, 'Ah, Schindler's Lift!' However, this sign is slightly worrying - who made the decision that the rickety old box was capable of carrying even two people? But, as Marian said when I hesitated before getting in, 'It wants to go down, we want to go down - who's complaining?'
I also like the last manaña sentence: 'It is hoped that repairs will begin on the lifts next week.'
