Thanks for the reply.
I know he is Irish, I stated that in my post, but my Irish work mate (from Limerick) uses the word "lift" rather than "elevator" and pronounces "lever" the same way Brits do.
I would assume that the word "elevator" was in the script, but the pronunciation of the word "lever" must have been allowed, or enforced by the director??
Maybe a deliberate reflection of American influence on British culture and language?
