I'm guilty of being a middle-space occupier.  This is due in the main to my
gargantuan arse, but also - especially so at this time of year - to the
static electricity that builds up on the escalators. Does anyone else have a
car that tries to electrocute them every autumn (Fall for Sepponians)?

To be honest I must say that the elevator (lift for Austrians) is now my
preferred method of Nagoya building-commute.  Again, in the main due to the
aforementioned arse, and there's nothing quite so satisfying as scoffing
down an Indian lunchtime buffet and then sharing the experience with the
innocent locals...
