BBC and their couriers
Apparently, Paul in BBC London recently needed to send an urgent video tape via courier to duly arrived in the post room at BBC Bristol for the attention of Beth.
Paul - noticing that the label was peeling off - decided to replace it with a new one. He removed the original and stuck it on the fridge, intending to copy the address after lunch.
The next morning, the Paul was surprised to find this voice message (mp3) on his mobile. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/06/17/fridge_message.mp3
A transcript of the voice message:
"First saved message: message received yesterday at 9.20am."
"Hi Paul, this is Beth. We have an emergency. Apparently you gave the courier a six-foot fridge to be delivered to BBC Bristol instead of the tape we need in the studio today. Could you call me on 0117-xxx-xxxx as soon as you get this message? Bye."
Lack of common sense rating: 10.0
Oh that's funny...
