My latest tweet: Just watched the film Red Cliff by John Woo on Film4. Great film but at 2hrs50mins it means I'm a bit late getting to bed :(

A friend of mine has moved into a new flat in Canterbury and he pointed out the manufacturer’s name on the lift we were in, Schindler, which meant we were riding in Schindler’s Lift, which was quite funny (although not really).

Schindlers Lift

Schindler's Lift

I was thinking, “wow did they not realise that?” but then a quick bit of research reveals that the Schindler Group were founded in Switzerland in 1874, so I think I’ll let them off.

Going down?
