Cones Hotline

Cones, such as those you may ring the cones hotline to enquire about

In 1992, John Major set up the cones hotline, a hotline which allowed members of the public to call and enquire about roadworks and report cones which had been unexpectedly deployed on roads for no apparent reason. It cost several thousand pounds per year to run, and took only 20,000 calls in its three year run, many of which were prank calls. Setting up the cones hotline is considered to be one of the greatest epic fails in recent political history.

If you see cones behaving suspiciously, contact the cones hotline immediately. Don't let what happened to these diners happen to you!
