Just got off the phone from sorting out a booking with the Camping & Caravan Club. Not sure whether to laugh or groan at the hold music

That’s at least humorous. 4 stars.

I wish more companies would rotate the hold music. I’m having to spend up to 3 hours at a time on hold to an insurance company regularly. I’m going mad!

You take it on faith, you take it to the heart
The waiting is the hardest part

Can't wait for some company to have the balls to put that on there.

I like "We Are Currently Experiencing a High Volume of Calls, Your Call Is Important to Us and Will Be Answered Shortly." It's a modern classic, all the IVRs are using it these days. Though "Why Not Use Our Website At Double You Double You Double You Dot..." is gaining in popularity.

I think it should give you an indication of the waiting time. The Ramones, yep I'll wait. Start of the Ring Cycle, nope, I'll hang up and send an email

The fiirst place I worked out of uni had a CD player linked up to the phone system for hold music.

I repurposed it one night when no-one was in so I could listen to music. Forgoot to remove my CD before reconnecting it.

It was about 6 months later when someone discovered we had been playing pretty raucous Jungle to people waiting for tech support.
