Had a call the other day from a company saying their dispatch machine was making an really awful racket. We listened but couldn’t identify the sound so told them to try restating it. After a while, they rang back and said it fixed the problem for five minutes but its back again now and comming coming from one of the booking terminals.

Fearing the worst I spent an hour driving through all the rush hour traffic only to find the sound was coming from a Jiffy bag containing Blackberry phone handed in the night before. Its alarm had been set to go off at 8am and was blasting out the sound of a ship’s foghorn!

Suppose I should have guessed this when they said they thought they could hear something that sounded like seagulls in the background. :lol:
