Can we schedule a lift-meeting?

'There is a legendary story about a female newspaper editor who refused to travel with anyone else in the office lift in case they tried to talk to her.  (Janet Street Porter should remain nameless but are so few female newspaper editors that it is pretty obvious that it is she).  If anyone else tried to get into the lift she would simply shout, "Get out!"'
