I now have a serious confession to make...I hope Ban, Breezer & others can forgive me....
I worked for B & Q in 1988. It was in the days when B & Q did not have public toilets.
B & Q used to have a system of "call codes" to use over the Tannoy - ie "Decorative Code 123 to checkout 1, please"
Where the number had a meaning ie price check, spillage theft etc...
My mate Jane got on the tannoy one day and said, "Decorative Code 999 to Bathrooms, please." So I went to the CS desk to find her and said "We don't have a Code 999. What the hell's that?"
"We do now. A little girl's just done a poo in a display toilet. Can you deal with it?"
Now that was a bum job...........
