Led Zeppelin must have subliminally been thinking of their US fans with that line in their classic "Stairway to Heaven".
So, Debra Lilley, also from the UK over for Oracle OpenWorld in San Francisco, sends out an SOS while stuck in the electronic "stairway" at her hotel: "get-me-out-of-this-lift-please-stuck-in-lift-11-at-the-marriott" .
Lift? No wonder it took her 92 minutes to get rescued :)
Yes...two nations separated by a common language ...
And God help those who learn English as a second language. This article in the Liverpool Daily Post puts a perspective on the complexity of the English language. But it wisely stays away from trying to explain why citizens of the city are called Liverpudians.
The positive from Debra's ordeal? It gives Oracle bragging rights : Oracle Listens - and Rescues.
Of course, SAP would argue ASAP would deliver a SLA with much better response time than 92 minutes. And that would be an appropriate response for the wordy weapon launched on German forces by the British in this Monty Python classic ...
