As Riverside don't have any Tridents, the driver probably wasn't aware of this.

(23 Feb 2016, 8:23 pm)Adrian I guess you've answered your own question in a way. They're as entitled as the next person to an opinion, but I'd perhaps personally refrain from giving it in front of customers. I don't think it portrays a good image of the company.

Thats brilliant news! Can't wait to hear nice clear professional audio that will be understandable to everyone, and not just those from Tyne & Wear, ;-)
