    Great moment - made me smile - thanks for the explanation - I wonder what inspired that choice of crossing tone.

    John,
    It's amazing how many people in Vienna have "Scotland the Brave" as their mobile ring tone signal. Thousands if the tram journeys are anything to go by. You hear "Scotland the Brave" and 3 people simultaneously reach into their pockets!
