    We have a super lady called Elsie who types out in tripliacte the
    names of all of the beat combos as they play out from '78. The Pink
    copy is filed with the BH librarians, who stamp the counterfoil and
    authorise the T109-D form procedure; the yellow copy is sent to
    the Music (modern, repetitive) Playout Reporting Unit (third class)
    for record keeping; the blue copy is then sent  via registered post
    to the BBC's ENIAC installation in  Surrey, from where it is set out
    to 'the Last.fm internet reception station' via a series of tubes.

Thanks to some unexpectedly investigative reporting by the
famously inebriated Jim 'Drunken' Campbell, a fourth set of
green copies was recently discovered in the basement of
"Reith Wetherspoon's Parrot and Cheese Shop" in the remote
Welsh village of Llanmannager.

The green slips are all labelled 'Blitz Avoidance Copy
Kept Until Peacetime', and are apparently carried clandestinely
via the only route from London that avoids every bridge,
railway line and transport cafe.
