Leo and I discovered that Mr M was a man of few words - but fortunately the task in front of us proved pretty straight forward and required little conversation, with the added bonus that Mr M's block had a working lift to transport the two parts of the surprisingly light divan base to ground level and out to the bin area for removal.

Task accomplished pretty quickly, apart from Leo encountering a couple of residents keen to get into the lift but realising in these Covid times it would be an uncomfortable squeeze against the bed base and impossible to maintain the requisite 1m (with extra precautions...), and so sensibly waited for it to return minus bed (and masked Leo) to their floor.
