Maybe he meant those really long horizontal ones in airports that always has a family of West Africans with 16 suitcases blocking the way.Originally Posted by Burney

That's a travelator. You can tell an escalator because it...well...escalates. And you definitely can't get on and off it.
and, of course, a travelator just gets you to where you were going anyway. Just a little quicker.
“Other clubs never came into my thoughts once I knew Arsenal wanted to sign me.”
To be fair, listening to Boris try to cobble together a cooking metaphor for his Brexit deal - "'Just shove it in the microwave, gas mark 5" - wasn't much better.
...unless there are a bunch of slow people blocking your path and actually making you go slower, of course. Which is an excellent metaphor for the comprehensive system.
Yes, but that's Boris's schtick. It's carefully cultivated and it actually came off the top of his head, whereas this was presumably thought up by one of Corbyn's social media team and probably had to be signed off by half a dozen people before it saw the light of day.

Even then you can't get off until the end anyway. He'd have been better off with a tube train or a Routemaster.
'Seems that I was busy doing something close to nothing
But different than the day before'
'Met a dwarf that was no good, dressed like Little Red Riding Hood'
'Now you're unemployed, all non-void
Walkin' round like you're Pretty Boy Floyd'
Of course you can. Done it loads and loads. If you want the secret, try getting on at the bottom and getting off at the top. In between, you have to do remarkably little.
