Occupation Question: 'Life Attendant'

[Chris in 1066Land]

Hi Ryan

As Hackstaple said earlier on

It is definitely 'Lift Attendant'

Listen to Chris - he is always right. It also shows that the original is more likely to be accurate than a transcript.
One thing that I have found has served me well - a wise man for whom I worked once told me "If you are in Hampstead and you hear the sound of hoofs, think "Horses" and not "Zebras"? - the most probable explantion is most often right.

Hi Hackstaple

Thanks for that compliment - but sadly I am not always right, but I do check the originals and 'Go with my first instinct' when deciding what it is.

You were correct without seeing the original - well done

Hi,

My point exactly,  you must try to get as close to the original source as humanly possible.  Anything else must be treated with caution.

Looks like "lift attendant" to me. " Am I the only one who is old enough to remember "lift attendants" ?

Jill, that's quite a good connection you've made, but I would have imagined that men would have held such an occupation circa 1900 (no offense)?

None taken Ryan - and it's definitely Lift!
