Just watching the news and they played a 999 recording of an 8yo boy that called 999 because the neighbour's house was on fire.

Great kid, but the utter stand out line was:
'He went upstairs to get the crowbar' :lol2:

I mean, of course. Where else would you keep it? :)

I thought you were going to give us the 'alternate universe' version of this Monty Python sketch opening:

Tourist: Good morning.
Secretary: Oh good morning, ummm, do you want to come upstairs?
Tourist: I beg your pardon?
Secretary: Do you want to come upstairs? Oh! Or have you come to arrange a holiday?
Tourist: Er.......to arrange a holiday.
Secretary: Oh sorry.
Tourist: What's all this about coming upstairs?
Secretary: Oh, nothing, nothing. Now where were you thinking of going?

Put your head between them and go 'flubbery, flubbery, flubbery' with American Express

It’s under the bed along with the windscreen for the Vette. I grant you, as we live in a bungalow, upstairs would be a little strange. But I’ve heard there are houses with two floors.
