From the station at Colchester
To the cells of Warrington
From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

Oh and by the way, was that a genuine typo or did you mean to write that with an Edinburgh twang?  |

trying to get through to a call centre, is it really necessary to keep stating every 15 seconds " i'm very sorry to keep you waiting, please carry on holding and I'll put you though to someone as soon as I can"  just play the bloody music  |

Also, 15 seconds, or 30 (the latter is pretty common) sounds like a long time when you build these things, because you go in with a false sense of optimism. You design it thinking you'll answer them quickly and forget to check what 10 minute loop feels like. |
