Ring 09) 379 2020 right now (11:05) - Auckland City councils answerphone message...

"Thank you for calling Auckland City, due to an emergency evacuation we are unable to answer your call"

OH MY GOD - a million people evacuated! :lol:

[McJim]

Seems a bit extreme to put it on your ansaphone when you're getting rid of last night's vindaloo...

well that's what I always mean when I talk about an 'Emergency Evacuation"!

Fire alarm in the building most likely.

We flip our call center into emergency mode whenver the fire arlam goes off, then sod off to Robert Haris for a coffee.

[LilSel]

Yeah... lol...
Just tried to call them before too regarding a parking ticket lol... got the same message

[Pwalo]

'Emergency evacuation' - must be last night's dodgy curry.

I think what MDU was trying to get across was that the Auckland City Council has an overactive sense of self importance and purports to speak on behalf of the entire city, thus inadvertently conveying the impression that the entirety of Auckland City has been evacuated rather than just one (somewhat unimportant and easily replaced) building.
