DOWN

On my way down the stairs at the front of the block being as the lift’s not working to meet daughter off the bus I passed Number 4 coming up.
‘After you young man,’ he said as he moved aside on the landing below to let me through.
‘Thanks,’ I said. ‘Looks like hard work?’
‘It is,’ he said. ‘I tried to get in at three but you need a special key now so I couldn’t get in.’
‘The fob not work?’
‘No, you need a special key. I’ll have to go and get one.’
‘Oh.’
‘Anyway, bye now.’
