A couple times a week, I pass by an out-of-service escalator. It’s been out of service for about a year now so I don’t pay much attention to it - I’m used to seeing out of order escalators. A sign used to hang on the wall with an estimated repair time - which past 2 months ago.
The sign is gone and replaced with a new one. I’ve never bothered reading the sign until today. You’ll never guess what reason the TTC is giving for the still out of work escalator. Here’s the message (I’ll try to get a photo tomorrow):
Constricted walkway due to hoarding and ongoing escalator maintenance.
Come on! Is the TTC making fun of us?
Hoarding?
Seriously, who the hell hoards escalator parts?
Is there an International Escalator Cabal who has cornered the market on parts?
Is there a secret warehouse filled with escalator parts hidden deep in the Canadian tundra?
Really - these questions need to be answered!
Stumble it!

Bimmy has been VERY laggardly lately.
She has been away to Glasgow - watch out for more Frog Ted pics, and she has been watching too much TV. Suddenley there is lots to watch!
Catpaw, it would be compltely and utterly frogtastic if you were to wobble your whiskers along to my frogshop to buy a Frog Ted to have adventures and photoshoots in Toronto!!
Only yesterday we got some pics from Venice, and we’ve one or two from Glasgow and London, so yes yes YES, take Frog Ted to Toronto!!!!
