However we must not forget that the "Weaving Shed" is on the Isle of Skye and so there is further potential for confusion.

b*cat retreats to a safe distance away from Mrs Weaver's thrown saucepans, etc . . .  ;)

The same analogy but basically think of upload as leaving, up up and away.  This is after all part of the idea of "the cloud", its up there.

Or you put things up on a shelf out of the way, you have to bring them down again to use them.

I like the shelf analogy.
