Wind up of the Year
 
Those that can need to listen to Rock FM on Monday between 08:15 and 08:30. You may even be able to get it over the internet!

Mrs. R has just had a call (supposedly from Australia) saying there was a problem with our application. Something to do with us being involved in the illegal pet trade in 1997. Wanted to know if we had been forceably removed from the country and had a pending conviction against us.
Needless to say they had all the wrong information so Mrs R knew it was a wind up. The guy who set it up is obviously going to suffer as will all the others who know all about it.
