A Little Plod Music.

Whilst in Ayr I visited, as I always do, the local branch of the Wetherspoons pub chain for an afternoon meal and during one of my visits two members of the local CID were also in attendence investigating dud cheques or dodgy notes or something of that order of business. Whilst they were interviewing members of staff the phone of the more senior of the two began to sound out its ringtones.

You might well ask yourself what particular piece of music you might find on the mobile phone of a CID officer. The theme from 'The Sweeney' perhaps, or maybe 'The Bill' or. given the part of the world I was in, perhaps the theme from 'Taggart'. Any of those suggestions however would be well wide of the mark. The music that actually rang out around 'The West Kirk' was, in fact, the opening to 'Eine Kliene Nachtmusik' by Mozart.

One can only imagine the hilarity this must cause amongst the local hard men if he forgets to turn his phone off during interviews.
