ROYSTON VASEY NOTES AND NEWS
Master Li’s latest invention, “The Old Folks Patent Leg Lifter Upper” has been undergoing prototype trials at the “Heavens Annexe” Old Folks Home here in Royston Vasey. The first model used the sound of the vacuum cleaner to activate the Lifter Upper. This worked well until old Mr Hetherington fell asleep in his chair. His snores were just on the right pitch to activate the lifts so that a row of legs rose and fell in time to his snores.
Master Li then substituted a motion detector from a security light but again it detected not only the vacuum cleaner but anyone walking past so that a Mexican wave of legs followed them down the room.
Master Li then went back to basics and fitted a two button control so that the Old Folk can lower the lift to get in the chair and lift it once in position.
Old Mr Hetherington has had to banned from the common room as the sight of all those horizontal ladies was getting him over excited.
