Unless you’re talking about the early years, when all the voices were irritatingly panned to the hard left of your head.
Ah, the good old days of ‘moneo’.
Listen in quadrophonic and there’s no escape. They’re everywhere!
Surely, you meant they’re Here, There and Everywhere.
And they did it in the road. Sad.
ETA: And nobody was watching. Sadder.
Beatles in your mouth? I worked in a call center once and there was one chick who grated because her phone manner was always so upbeat, high pitched and super-bright. She got her comeuppance one day when a guy refused her call, telling her she sounded like she had a rat up her arse. I couldn’t have put it better.
Nothing like a phone-brave caller making a complete stranger, there to help you, feel like shit.
Er…not quite an accurate grasp of the situation. Although the (outbound) call center dealt in “Market/Social Research” some of it was at the dubious commercial end. If anything, it was a case of we the callers inserting ourselves uninvited into the lives of random strangers who often did not take the intrusion well. I wouldn’t be so bold as to say we were there to help anyone but our clients. But I had to laugh when a guy said that the interviewers excited manner sounded like she had a rat up her arse. He really nailed it.
Of course, this takes me right back to the out-take from Shaun of the Dead where the Beatles are suddenly part of the story:
Not a bit like Cagney.
