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.
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
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.
I’m surprised his bosses allow it. It seems that everyone is expected to act like a robot in their jobs.
Once at, it was either Oxford Circus or Piccadilly, the announcer was doing the announcements in a Dalek voice. “Be careful on the escalaaaaator!”
What magicial land di you live in where u can understand shit when they talk …
I laughed so hard 😂
A rarity with SNL these days… But it’s old 🙂
Remind me of a time where the announcer called the three-car train arriving ‘petite’.
Got to have fun where you can!
why does this post sound British
why do i understand this
even tho it doesn’t make sense, he sounds too happy for a british person
A few weeks ago I got on the train home and whoever had control of the intercom (not the guy at the front, though he was having a grand time) proceeded to yell a bunch of stuff about anime (mostly names) during the time when they normally say to hit the button to request street level stops. I will always wonder who that hero was, it totally made my day.
I bought a vehicle when the pandemic hit, but the last time I took a public transit train we had hometown boy Seth Rogan doing the announcements.
I want to go to there…
