It can certainly go upstairs.

I remember this because of the amusing case in Inverness in the '50s when a cow escaped from an auction and ran down the street before climbing a set of stairs leading above a shop. Unfortunately the cow fell through into the shop below, knocking on a tap in the process and flooding it whilst it ran amok. (I've forgotten the name of the case.)

ABBA's chart topping pop parade hit Super Trooper is the only ABBA song to feature the words 'super' and 'trooper' in the title.

People rarely make successful claims against a Third Party, Fire and Theft policy, as they only cover you if your car is stolen by someone else while it is actually on fire. What you really want is a "Third Party, Fire OR Theft” policy.
