It pays the bills i suppose...   :signLOL:

Seriously though i cant complain, always done very well out of them although the OTT safety policy gets a little frustrating at times! For the most part i've always thought that working for any reasonably large lift company is the same as the next albeit with a different van and t-shirt  :grin:

Got friends that work for Kone, Schindler, Pickerings, Rubax, Thyssen etc and my uncle works for Stannah and they all have the same moans and gripes lol

Is it true that you can force a lift to go straight to a specific floor with a "magic button pressing sequence"?  :signLOL:

Kind of but not in the same way as the t'internet would have you believe  :wink:

Some lifts will be programmed not to travel to a restricted floor or a stockroom etc by a single press of the relevant car push but may need another button pressing before or after or even during pressing the restricted floor push, its usually the door close button if you fancy some unauthorised urban exploration haha!

The above method is rarely used now though as modern stuff will just have a card reader or pin keypad fitted, i however can play god from upstairs with my service tool and send you wherever i fancy and keep the doors shut....  :grin:

Which is ever so fun when a painter and decorator decides he wants to ride in the lift when you are testing it. That and crash stoping the lift, they don't tend to get in it again  :evilgrin:

Sadly for me i work all over the UK mainland.  :sad1:  Our office is based at Nottingham, i live in the Northwest, but could work anywhere from Aberdeen to Estleigh. I used to enjoy all the hotels and night life working away, but much prefer all my home comforts nowadays.  :happy2:
