Actually, a stair lift is essentially a comfortable chair that is attached
to a rail on the wall that enables people with difficulty walking to sit and
be "stair lifted" mechanically. It's like a ski lift for the home but it's
not as much fun coming down.

As an aside. Some of the Brits may have heard of http://www.billwiggin.com/
the Shadow Secretary of State for Wales, Shadow Minister for the
Environment, and Conservative Member of Parliament for the constituency of
Leominster. He's a political big wig, no pun intended.

He has been called Bungalow Bill as it is said that he "doesn't have much
upstairs" if you know what I mean.....

In history there have been a number of Bungalow Bills - the man who married
Alexis..no wait, that's Joan Collins in real life.....and of course the
famous Bungalow Bill, what did you kill....a case of John Lennon thinking
people with guns shooting defenseless critturs weren't too bright....he came
to learn that more up close later on in life, unfortunately....
