Escalator, moving staircase

Escalator, an attraction of my youth. It was rationed to us by our parents. We were either in a hurry or the escalator was trying to eat me and my shoelaces (At least that’s what we were told.)

Tomas Bata arranged to build one at his department store in Zlin. It was build by the guy who invented it – Jessie W. Reno.

The longest one in the European union is located at a metro station of Prague Metro. Its name is Namesti Miru. Its length is 87,1 m. And where is even a longer one in the near vicinity? It is at Khreshchatyk station in Kyiv Metro. Its length is 131,7 m.

What are your experiences with the escalator?

Břetislav Sobek

My name is Bretislav Sobek. I am curious and don’t understand new things. That is the reason why I ask, I write it down and post it.

I have written hundreds of emails to newspaper’s editorial offices. They have answered me once. They wrote me that if I wanted to write I should study journalism including a link to the right faculty. They said it was supposed to be the right place for me.

Others answered with a suspicion that I was a PR manager of a political party. I just wanted to inform my fellow citizens about what I think was important to them.

I applied for Journalists unions. They didn’t accept me and weren’t able to explain me why. The same went for another ten candidates.

And that’s the reason why I decided to set up my own newspaper and named myself a chief editor.
