I'd say the other way around Gazza. The haphazard nature of the depth and length of each step made going down an adventure of it's own, even sober. I used to glide back up after a tincture or two... :-D

The “ depth and length of each step”? That would be the “go” and “ rise” my friend! Trust me, I was a staircase manufacturer,  ------------- Andrew |

"Go" doesn't even make sense mate? Might as well call it the Fedora or the Sadness...  ------------- Go away Duchatalet |

Every occupation has it's own jargon. Useful shorthand to the initiated and excludes the rest. My favourite example is Magdalene (as in Mary M.) college being pronounced Maudlin. ------------- It is no coincidence that in no known language does the phrase 'As pretty as an Airport' appear.

Walked up those steps many a time, always preferred coming down though. ------------- Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated |
