Less Un Crab Like Now
'Up and down the stairs all day. You practising to be another Sir Edmund Hillary ?'
'Well -'
'Oh I get it -"
'But.'
''-Don't interrupt. Yes I do think you're doing a Bumper Harris (who just had a wooden leg not a wooden head like some people .)
.Showing lift hoggers they needn't fear stairs as he
showed commuters the new escalator at Earls Court Underground was safe. What a nineteen eleven that was.'
''What d"you mean what-'
' I haven't. Got time. For this. Stop with going up and down and get yourself across somewhere.'

At first I thought that the title might be an anagram, the solution to which might help me to decipher the drabble, but I realise now that it probably wasn’t and that the reality might be that I’m just thick.🥴

...and a Google search later, it all makes sense! I might still be thick, but it seems that Google probably isn’t!😁 Bravo Jamie!

Thanks Neville. I'm the one who's been thick. Too thick to realise I can't always shoehorn interesting facts into a short space and still produce a story that makes sense . ☺ ☺

That accidental repetition jogged a memory from my Am Dram days and I wrote a drabble about it. ☺

And talking of underground escalators, I’ve had my own escalator drama with a very narrow escape from death at the Kings Cross fire in 1987. I referenced it in a drabble ‘Postscript’, which was itself a postscript to a series about my involvement in the Libyan Embassy shooting and siege. I think the Kings Cross escalator might be worthy of drabblification itself.

The collective title was Siege. And the postscript was entitled Siege PS. When one adds them up I’ve been in quite a few near scrapes. over the years.🥴
