Mrs. Nadine Bedell and Mrs. Hazel Davis attended "the workshop on The New Book of Alternative Services" held at St. Pauls Church, Stratford.

So to avoid the pain of fragmented dialogue there is silence. Except for the compulsive whistler. Did you ever encounter him (he is almost always a man)? He doesn't really whistle, he just breathes a tune, usually half a note off key. His repertoire is modest often restricted to a single measure from Waltzing Mathilda. And then there is the nervous key rustler, the coin clat- terer (who tosses the coins inside his pocket), and the finger tap- per. And here is Peter's third elevator law: "When you get a compulsive whistler and finger tapper in the same elevator, their rhythms always conflict." Even more annoying in an elevator than these sound effects specialists, is the woman who has just spilled half a bottle of 4711 down her decollete or the man wearing an after -shave strong enough to kill a bull musk-ox. I discovered once that I can hold my breath for seven floors, with the door opening and closing twice in betWecn. Do you think elevators can teach us something about human behaviour? Perhaps somewhere a researcher is writing a doctoral thesis on elevator habits. Who knows? If stairs wouldn't make my knees wobble, I'd stay out of elevators. They give me the creeps. They make me feel like a sardine in a can, like a trapped bird. The next time somebody asks me what I like about living in the country, I'll recite all the usual wonderful things I enjoy, and then I'll add: "And the freedom from elevators."
