"Can the people at the front please move forward?" Came a stern voice as we piled into the empty lift. "If I move any further forward I'd be kissing the wall" I replied from the front with an elbow in my back and an old ladies shopping bag on my foot. "MOVE FORWARD!" She repeated. "You're havin' a ****** larf!" an annonimous voice mumbled. "Who said that?" said a professional looking woman in the middle dressed in a suit looking in my direction. "Mind your language!" She frowned. "Not me I said" looking down. "MOVE FORWARD, THERES LOADS OF SPACE AT THE FRONT!!" Said the stern voice of the lady pushing forward. "She's got good fuckin' eyesight" said an old boy trying not to lose his temper or his balance. "You should know better!" Said the professional lady switching her glare from me to him. "Doors closing" "Do not obstruct the doors" "Do not obstruct the doors" "Doors opening" "Do not obstruct the doors" "Doors closing" "Do not obstruct the doors" "Lift out of service" Announced the pre recorded message in the lift. "MOVE AWAY FROM THE DOORS!" I shouted!
