Mind you I do appreciate those ones in supermarkets, it would be no fun with a full trolley and a couple of kids if tey did not work.

Inside, when it is cold, you are greeted by what the centre manager told me is called "Warmluftschleier", literally a veil of warm air - and he says it is proven that this curtain of hot air conserves the warmth inside the building better than any glass door panels could.<br />As for sliding doors, I hate the ones on lifts. They seem to have a life of their own and snap at people's elbows and behinds when they are trying to get in our out.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132582821010486689.post-36906034109619993352012-06-28T20:07:11.400+01:002012-06-28T20:07:11.400+01:00I don't like automatic doors, Frances - especi...I don't like automatic doors, Frances - especially the kind that go round as I always imagine being trapped inside them and I'm a bit claustraphobic!Rosemary Gemmellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09311840205603508422noreply@blogger.com
