What do you fear about them?
What do you fear about them?
To stumble when I should step on the ground. I also feel my head rushing.
With my children we practised "giant steps" at the top

I hate escalators!
Reasonably nearby to where I live there is a big shopping centre with a very long escalator right up the middle to the top floor. Once I was going to go on it, and just couldn't. I hated the idea of being 'trapped'.
My first proper job after university was in North London, at the tube station with the longest escalator on the underground; Angel station. I once had to walk all the way up it and it hurt my muscles so bad!!!
But I don't fear them now.... I just prefer not to walk up them!
I know the one you mean at the shopping centre! It's a monster one! I also know Angel and have also had to mountaineer those steps before too.....

This has reminded of growing up in London and communiting on the underground every day to go to college/work (yuk!)...All those escalators and staircases. Strangely I didn't mind them so much back then - I'd hate to have to use them again now. If I visit London now, I prefer to get the bus. Though many stations have got lifts now I think (?) because of the accessibility and the Equality Act ?
I can't get on the tube anymore, I don't know how I ever did it before. It's not the escalators I fear, it's being stuck underground.
I think quite a lot of stations have step-free access now but not all of them.
We don't have underground here. Just no call for it, but the last time I was in Dublin I used the Luas system, but got very afraid when the drug addicts and wino's came onboard and were looking for and pestering passengers for loose change.
So tomorrow it will be an official ceremony where the newly authorized translators will be handed their official documents. It will remain just to order my stamp.
By the way, if someone has an idea of nice stamp variant.
Excited and anxious...
I have a little cold and sore throat.
