Can I also interject.
The lifts at my sister's apartments were made by a company called Schindlers.

Schindlers lift
Schindlers list

geddit?

It amused the hell out of me for five days anyway.

the lift in my block of flats is tiny
it's practically a dumb-waiter, you have to know someone REALLY well before you get inside it with them. anyway, for some reason they have lined the inside with quilts at the moment, it's exactly like being in a padded coffin.

i take the stairs.

The book was originally called Schindlers Ark

It's ok, they changed it to "list"
not sure if it was for a promotional tie-in with the lift manufacturer..."Try our lift, Jew'll love it"
