Apparently, according to this page, these are actually announcements that London Underground train drivers have made to passengers. (I'm sure they're all 100% true and verfiable )

 Written by:


1) �Ladies and Gentlemen, I do apologise for the delay to your service. I know you�re all dying to get home, unless, of course, you happen to be married to my ex-wife, in which case you�ll want to cross over to the Westbound and go in the opposite direction�.

2) �Your delay this evening is caused by the line controller suffering from E & B syndrome, not knowing his elbow from his backside. I�ll let you know any further information as soon as I�m given any.�

3) �Do you want the good news first or the bad news. The good news is that last Friday was my birthday and I hit the town and had a great time. The bad news is that there is a points failure somewhere between Stratford and East Ham, which means we probably won�t reach our destination.�

4) �Ladies and gentlemen, we apologise for the delay, but there is a security alert at Victoria station and we are therefore stuck here for theforeseeable future, so let�s take our minds off it and pass some time together. All together now�.�Ten green bottles, hanging on a wall�..��.

5) �We are now travelling through Baker Street, as you can see Baker Street is closed. It would have been nice if they had actually told me, so I could tell you earlier, but no, they don�t think about things like that�.

6) �Beggars are operating on this train, please do NOT encourage these professional beggars, if you have any spare change, please give it to a registered charity, failing that, give it to me.�

7) During an extremely hot rush hour on the Central Line, the driver announced in a West Indian drawl: �step right this way for the sauna, ladies and gentleman� unfortunately towels are not provided�.

8) �Let the passengers off the train FIRST!� (Pause �) �Oh go on then, stuff yourselves in like sardines, see if I care - I�m going home�.�

9) �Please allow the doors to close. Try not to confuse this with �Please hold the doors open�. The two are distinct and separate instructions.�

10) �Please note that the beeping noise coming from the doors means that the doors are about to close. It does not mean throw yourself or your bags into the doors.�

11) �We can�t move off because some idiot has their hand stuck in the door�

12) �To the gentleman wearing the long grey coat trying to get on the second carriage - what part of �stand clear of the doors� don�t you understand ?�

13) �Please move all baggage away from the doors (Pause..) Please move ALL belongings away from the doors (Pause�) This is a personal message to the man in the brown suit wearing glasses at the rear of the train - put the pie down, four-eyes, and move your bl**dy golf clubs away from the door before I come down there and shove them up your a**e sideways�

14) �May I remind all passengers that there is strictly no smoking allowed on any part of the Underground. However, if you are smoking a joint, it�s only fair that you pass it round the rest of the carriage�.



Actually, I was on the (4) train today and the conductor came on and said "Ladies and gentlemen, please pay attention as there will be a short quiz on this at the next stop. In order to provide you with the most annoying inconvenience possible, we will be skipping several stops. Passengers going to Burnside Av. need to get off at 176 st. and passengers going to Bedford Park Blvd. need to get off at Kingsbridge Rd. Shuttle busses are provided at these stops, although everyone knows that they're so slow that you're probably better off just walking it. I'll be obsessively repeating this announcement at each stop, so if you're going to either of these stations and you're SURE that you have it right and that you're not going to yell at some poor station attendant because you weren't listening, you may now place your iPod headphones in your ears and ignore me."

Well, something like that anyway. But we were all giggling in the car at each stop, especially watching the looks on the faces of new passengers getting on the train.

One time I was coming home on the tube from Hammersmith, and a bunch of identical looking tourists all got on (I think they were american, not sure). There were about 30 of them, all with digital cameras around their necks, shorts, hawaian shirts, the works. As we pulled of, the speaker came on, and all we heard was: "Baaaaaaa.... Baaaaaaa..." Proper sheep noises.

Absolute genius, most of the carriage was wetting themselves. None of the tourists got it, which made it soooo much funnier.

That's because Americans don't have the intimate knowledge of sheep that the good people of the British Isles seem to have...

On a similar note, I was on the train back from PLAY. As we pulled out of Macclesfield the train ground to a halt and the voice on the tannoy said 'Train Manager come to Coach E as someone as pulled the emergency stop'.



From the fracas we could hear that it was pulled by someone who as a result of only getting her stuff ready to alight the train when it pulled in missed getting off so pulled the Emergency Stop to stop the train. Don't think the train manager charged them the fine but was visably pi**ed off.



At the next stop the tannoy said.

'Ladies and Gentlemen we will shortly arriving into Stockport, upon leaving the train please make sure you have all your personal belongings with you and the passengers from earlier get your own train back to Macclesfield!'
