Hej OneMatchFox!

För ett tag informerade vi dig om att allt inte verkade stå rätt till med din cache och bad dig då ta reda på hur det stod till, samt åtgärda eventuella problem. Då det inte syns några tecken på att du gjort det, kommer jag nu att arkivera din cache.

Jag ber dig plocka in ev. rester av din cache så att de inte ligger kvar och skräpar ner.

Hälsningar
Toa Norik, reviewer

Little Britain

Little Britain is a British character-based sketch show that was first broadcast on BBC radio and then turned into a television show. It was written and performed by comic duo David Walliams and Matt Lucas. The show's title is an amalgamation of the terms 'Little England' and 'Great Britain', and is also the name of a Victorian neighbourhood and a modern street in London.

The show comprised sketches involving exaggerated parodies of British people from all walks of life in various situations familiar to the British people. These sketches were presented to the viewer together with narration in a manner which suggested that the programme is a guide—aimed at non-British people—to the ways of life of various classes of British society. Despite the narrator's description of great British institutions, the comedy is derived from the British audience's self-deprecating understanding of either themselves or people known to them. The phrase "Little Britain" also refers to an uninterested and parochial mindset often displayed by many of show's subjects.1

Computers Says No

"Computer Says No", or the "Computer says no attitude", is the popular name given to an attitude in customer service in which the default response is to check with information stored or generated electronically and then make decisions based on that, apparently without using common sense, and showing a level of unhelpfulness whereby more could be done to reach a mutually satisfactory outcome, but is not. The name gained popularity through the British sketch comedy Little Britain.

In Little Britain, "Computer Says No" is the catchphrase of the character Carol Beer (played by David Walliams), a bank worker and later holiday rep and hospital receptionist, who always responds to a customer's enquiry by typing it into her computer and responding with "Computer Says No" to even the most reasonable of requests. When asked in a manner to do something aside from asking the computer, she would shrug and remain obstinate in her unhelpfulness, and ultimately cough in the customer's face.2 You can see a selection of these skits here (with Swedish subtitles)
