It looks similar to the Americanized form of English where we use the proper terms, like Elevator instead of lift. The safety elevator was, in fact, invented here in the states. Yes, well done indeed, JLF! I've often thought that you Americans have come up with some wonderful things in your very short time as a nation. You are to be commended! Well, I am sorry to say that in previous years, I have grown concerned on what I see as the slide of Great Britain into becoming a foriegn owned them park, what with the sale of Rolls Royce and Bentley to the Germans. Have you people forgotten a little incident called "The Battle of Britain?" If it's the Germans or you guys, I'll take the Germans: at least they haven't been bought out by the Chinese, dig?
