But Nanny views stairs as major threat to all. Ours were presented to us the portal to hell. Yellow stripes adorn them and one may only exit via them (to take out the bins) not re-enter that requires a walk around the building to the front door, buzz security wait oh 5 mins while the work piles up etc.<BR/><BR/>Stairs must be viewed with extreme fear in my workplace so much so that I am developing stairophobia and will have to sue someone very soon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-82749885600922104392008-08-28T11:09:00.000+01:002008-08-28T11:09:00.000+01:00Ken:I feel sad that Croydonians, according to Nann...Ken:<BR/><BR/>I feel sad that Croydonians, according to Nanny, cannot be trusted to use stairs correctly and safely.
