Ozexpatriate Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 There's some beauties there. There are plenty of examples where roles are reversed in the "help desk" conversation too. I could describe a recent telephone call with my cable TV provider, but it doesn't make me And yes, that conversation involved "try unplugging it and plugging it back in".

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted June 21, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 21, 2016 Strange place, Hebden Bridge. IMG_0363.JPG You wouldn't say that if you'd ever worked in train planning. The passenger planning lot at Swindon WR HQ always had their office Christmas Dinner in July - and the pub at Kemble where they went laid on decorations, Christmas crackers, the lot. (One of our former freight planners is supposed to be investigating the place to see if it would make a suitable summer lunch venue for the WR HQ freight planners - regrettably we won't need a very large dining room.) 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They feel a bit like urban legends to me. Just a bit too pat for me. I tried a couple of searches on Snopes - nothing turned up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

trisonic Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 I’m afraid that the BBC site is not run by Lord Reith......... I’ve noticed recently that some of their headlines are unintelligible due to bad grammar and shoddy reporting - but I don’t collect them to prove it. You have to watch the BBC site from the USA - 30 second adverts before any filmed news items, etc. I have Adblock and it is still a tedious site to skim through. Best, Pete.
