megalithic Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Had to do a double take to believe my eyes seeing this today, i literally laughed out loud which made the guy sharing the lift with me give a strange look, till i pointed it out to him, then he laughed too. Any other strange company names out there you know of. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draggletail Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 My former employer had a lift provided by Schindler. I saw the irony. Me too ... I mentioned it in conversation to a mate who works as a porter at the Hallamshire - He just rolled his eyes and said that if he'd had a quid for everytime he'd heard that in the lift ....

FullBean Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 You only just noticed this? The film came out in 1993 The elevator company was founded in 1874 I assume you don't get in many lifts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gram? Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 The lift in my house is a Schindler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phanerothyme Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 You know the connection. Stop acting dumb If it was a Schindler oven, it might have been ironic. Schindler's Lift is just an amusing homonym of the famous book. Irony is not a component. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
