In the pink

Ever seen Ferris Bueller’s Day Off? I only ask because the junior Excel chimp currently assigned to receive muddled and infrequent orders from me had never heard of Hong Kong Phooey when I mentioned him (don’t ask) earlier, thereby undermining my entire cultural frame of reference (inasmuch as it’s possible to undermine a frame).

I digress.

You may recall that our heroes borrow Cameron’s uptight dad’s low mileage Ferrari, and leave it with a couple of lusty rogues at a valet parking lot, after which said rogues clock up 306.35 miles (don’t believe me? Check the script) on the Ferrari.

Well, it seems a bunch of clowns called Pink Meet and Greet have been pulling the same trick at London Gatwick Airport. The question is, would you do business with a firm that has “SEIZED TRADING” and will advise once “ADVICE HAS BEEN SEEKED”?

Luckily they “Excepts all major Debit/Credit card”, after which “you will recive confirmation” Wow.

“How comes Pink are so cheap?” you ask? Well, it’s because they keep their “over heads” (ceilings? umbrellas?) low.

There are some warning signs, however – the “phone lines are now back up and running” – what happened to them? Presumably they’re on Orange. The “lady in the office will gladly take your number regarding complaints” – oh dear. Watch out though, since “you may not always get a responce”

And people paid money to this outfit? Whatever happened to caveat emptor ?
