Be grateful for the escalator. Back when I were a wee lad, it was a choice between the slowest lift in the world, or a spiral staircase. The stairs were always quicker, it's just that going down one became dizzy from going round in circles so often and going up it took one (well a younger fitter me at any rate) about 5 minutes to catch one's breath.
