This is a question Hoarding

Willenium says: I had to bring some floppy disks into work which I had been saving for 10 years "in case I might need them". Tell us when your hoarding skills have come in useful (or not, as the case may be)

I've never been able to find it again, so I can't confirm!
I believe it was in a special anthology for subscribers, multiple authors, one of those big books that is sent as a gift-with-subscription, and people keep in their libraries to look educated. So unlikely to be in a bookstore or even listed as a usual publication.

But if I recall correctly, it was a Dahl and so characteristic of his short stories!

Any of these?

Not on the list. Perhaps I'll realise I've hallucinated the whole thing.
Or it was another author. *sigh*
Dahl wrote the short story about the nervous wife whose husband got stuck in their elevator, didn't he?

I'm going to be searching for this one for ages!
