I don't no why but I have tears rolling down my face, it has brought back memories of a chap called Roger I used to work with.

Siemens have (or had) an office in Staines
They had a temporary telephonist who was answering calls with'Good morning, Siemens Staines'
She lasted about an hour before being dismissed
