At some point gravity takes over and whatever foot stops me from face-planting a stair is the foot that leads. Can be both, but most likely one or the other....

I put my body on the line for science!
Left foot first resulted in a safe descent.
Right foot first resulted in a cascading failure that ultimately had me heaped at the bottom of the stairs.
On ascent, it did not matter which foot came first, as long as I was climbing only one stair at a time. When switching to double stair climbing, left was the only option, as right would once again result in a cascading failure that would have me heaped in the middle of the stairs, then slide unceremoniously to the bottom.
Overall, I came to the following conclusion:
Science is always better with several pints ingested beforehand.

Left foot I think. That's probably because the staircase curves to the right and the next right foot gets placed on the pivotal step. How about that for a Friday morning?!
Regarding cows, I believe if you need to herd them, herd them into the UPPER corner of a field, not the lower - it's far easier.

Quoting Geoffm (Reply 10): Regarding cows, I believe if you need to herd them, herd them into the UPPER corner of a field, not the lower - it's far easier.
Better still, herd them into a building with an elevator - that way you avoid the problem of getting them back down the stairs
Just when I thought I could see light at the end of the tunnel, it was some B*****d with a torch bringing me more work

Quoting Gkirk (Thread starter): Oh, and will the perverts confess to thinking this was about something else
Actually I was kind of flabbergasted when I read that topic and saw that username...I said to myself "where the hell did that drunken little pervert hear about that"
