Is that a challenge?
If we're sharing DVLA stories, I had to phone a random department there once and the Ann Robinson sounding computer voice breezily informed me that "All of our 167 operators are currently busy. Goodbye." before hanging up. Apparently there was no queue, you just had to get lucky that someone was available? :confused:

Almost as bad as my old old insurance company's phone tree that didn't understand the phonetic alphabet.

Blimey, I don't think I've heard "fairy" used in that sense in decades! If Blacknose is a bit younger than me it's entirely possible he's never heard it used that way at all.

I dunno, I call my boyfriend that all the time. :v: On the other hand it's been forever since I unironically heard "blimey".

Between this and CSB's renovation thread I have a serious desire to build something for mountain bike holidays. I've always hated the idea of a full-blown camper but "bike van ++" is looking more and more attractive as a way to actually go out and do stuff in hell world 2020.
