No big deal but something that cropped up yesterday whilst adding yet 
another room to the bookings.

The Buckingham Hotel only has one single room. I have made (confirmed) 
bookings for 4.
The "single room rate" is actually for single occupancy of a double or twin 
room.
So, with the exception of one poor soul who gets the lone single, you're 
odds on to have a bit more room than you expected

This has been another public service announcement on behalf of the UKMG 
Travel With Accomodation Team.

I may be wrong, but I suspect you will not need to have too many beer
vouchers with you Dave.......  Thanks for sorting this out.

Reminds me of the time that I suggested that we offered "Specialised
High-Intensity Training" to all of our staff...  The initial proposal
was accepted until we started abbreviating it :-)

Apparently the customer service arm of a (now-defunct) computer company 
was briefly called Wang Care...

And with good reason.  Wangs used to get a lot of abuse.  Especially
in Sales offices, for some reason.

Pronounced with an accent akin to Kenny Everett's Macel Wave?

Reminiscent of the PA ('Tannoy') system at the union building when I was at 
Uni: "Message for Mr. Swipe, Mr. R. Swipe" etc.

I had a colleague whose second name was "Head". His first name was *not* 
Richard (or indeed Dick), but over the tannoy, for some reason, it often 
was...

Worked for a company who had a Romanian geezer with the surname Copilet.
He was a bit of an arse generally but used to get really upset when the 
Tannoy system announced a "Call for Mr Copulate"....
