You are on any floor other than the ground or top, and want to call the lift. There is an up and a down button.
Turns out that for all these years Mrs C (and on a little wider investigation, others) think those buttons do one thing, and I (and on wider investigation nobody else yet) thinks they do another.
So I'd be interested in your thoughts.
Me: You press the up or down button according to which way you want to go
Her: no, you press the button to CALL it to you, so "up" if it's below you and "down" if it's above you.
Me: How do you know where it is?
Her: There's lights above the door to tell you.
Me: Not always
Her: Have you put the bins out yet, and there's hoovering to do you know, it's nearly Christmas.
Hmm. Which way do you think lift buttons work, chaps? And if you are surprised by one of these ways of looking at it, ask others in your circle and see if it's widespread, just out of interest?
Edit: I kind of hope we're both right, depending on ...um...techy stuff to do with lifts.
