Aye, a UK operator. The character the album is about calls home to his wife via the operator and a man answers, thus he finds out she's having an affair while he's away on tour. It's part of the story [img]smile.gif[/img]
It was done properly - a real call was made to the real operator so it would seem natural and real on the album.
Another real sound used on the album is the soundtrack of a war movie on TV.
BTW I dislike Pink Floyd but my ex loved them, so I was subjected to this over and over
