The funniest announcement in my railway station has been: “The train xxxxx coming from y and directed to z has been canceled because someone stole the electrical cables on the line”.
Funny only since it wasn’t my train.
A few years ago in Paris I was waiting for my train to Marseille and the announcer was rambling about our destination like he were paid to advertise it. “Marseille ! its cicadas ! its legendary sunny weather ! the smiles on people’s faces !” after a while he seemed to run out of things to list so he went on with random stuff “its horses ! the ladies’ perfume !” I had a good laugh
For anyone wondering like me:
A Tannoy is a system of loudspeakers used to make public announcements, for example at a fair or at a sports stadium. [British, trademark]regional note: in AM, use public address system.
I definitely googled it before coming to the contents. You’re awesome.
What magicial land di you live in where u can understand shit when they talk …
I laughed so hard 😂
Remind me of a time where the announcer called the three-car train arriving ‘petite’.
Got to have fun where you can!
