Hold music

A badge of honour amongst German speaking peoples.

One can also draw xenophobic stereotypes over nations and their hold music. The Brits will prefer Elgar, or pperhaps Vivaldi; the Luxembourgische a fluffy Straussian waltz; the Austrians a Scorpions greatest hits compilation, while German firms prefer a stern female voice intoning BITTE WARTEN. BITTE WARTEN.
