Just been mending a Technics stack system with a 5 disc multichanger CD /
DVD unit. Changer was jammed. The disc that was jamming it was a CD called
"Church Bells of Kent". Fair enough. And what was the other disc in the
stack ? A DVD called "Ben Dover's Dirty Blondes" !!!!

When I'd wiped the tears away, I played it. Very good it was too ...

LOL ! Yeah, that I could have bought, but the disc is *genuinely* bloody
church bells - 14 tracks of 'em - clanging away in the awful dischordant way
that they have ...

That's what made me laugh so much about the whole situation. The owner must
have been mortified when it jammed up his player, leaving the dirt DVD stuck
inside. I will make a point of wrapping it in a sheet of paper, marking it
"Owner's Discs Enclosed", and taping it to the outside of the unit, just
so's he knows when he comes into the shop, that we've all had a good look
and a larf at his expense !

Takes you back to the days of VCRs with the carriage crowbarred out, and a
flustered owner claiming that he just *had* to get the tape out, because it
was due back at the video rental shop

LOL! A story worthy of the much missed LLJ Arfa. Come to think of it,
maybe we should have an annual Les Lawry-Johns award for the "best
customer tale". Aaah, those were the days.....
