ventaReturn of an old rant:
I just called the Swan to book my car in for some work on Saturday. During my fifteen second conversation with the receptionist, she said "just bear with me a second" three times.
That's a whopping 12 bwm/minute, on average.

Other things that might throw the density off would be a visit by another Pope.
