I drove to London on Monday night. I stayed in the hotel near Shoreditch and I was amazed to hear that the lift (elevator) had learnt french in the last 6 weeks. She can tell you which floor you are on, that you are going up, that the doors are closing. I said hello to her in french to mark the occasion "Bonjour ascenseur, ca va?" Sadly she must have gone shy as she didn't reply. So we headed up from the rez de chaussee to my bedroom for the night and I trotted off merrily to meet my complimentary slippers!
I hope she doesn't learn too many more languages as it might make using the lift a rather long process!
