many people have to work on the weekend.some people do not mind.other people think it is terrible.
one man thinks that working on the weekend can be dangerous.he is graham coates.mr. coates works in an office in brighton, england.
on the morning of saturday, may 24, 1986, he went to the office to do some work.when he got on the elevator, it stopped between floors.mr. coates could not get out of the elevator.he started to shout, but no one heard him.then mr. coates remembered that it was a holiday in england.no one was going to come to work until monday!
there was nothing for mr. coates to do.he had to wait until one of his workmates came to work and found him.with nothing to eat or drink, mr. coates ended up sleeping for most of the time.
early on monday morning, the vice president of the company came to work and found the elevator was not working.when the elevator was opened, mr. coates came out, cold, weak, and tired.he had been in the elevator for 62 hours!
now mr. coates says, “i only use elevators if they have telephones in them.”
