Connex cancels meaningful answers
September 5th 2008 00:40
Connex, the contracted provider of rail services to Melbourne, Australia, has removed seven carriages from service because of a problem with rust around doors and on floors. The carriages, which are almost 40 years old, have been sent for repair.
Connex spokesman John Rees was interviewed about the withdrawal on radio this morning.
He was asked, "Were you worried about someone putting their foot through the floor?"
"No," said Mr Rees, "the issue is structural integrity under pressure."
Which means they're worried about someone putting their foot through the floor.
As John Rees could tell you, corporate doubledegook can be tricky.
