Voice of the London Underground canned for blogging funny fake announcement audio

I still remember Munich in the 80s, before they switched to a softspoken female announcer the drivers had to make every announcement themselves and did so in a harsh, aggressive bavarian dialect. Couldn't understand a word.

Completely forgot that until you just posted !
I was in Munich during that time too and I remember the confusion. Like Emma Clarke you heard the recorded announcements but didn't take much notice.

Then one day we were on the train and the driver barked in a gruff voice as we arrived in the station: "Fröttmaning". Everybody stopped and looked at the speaker.

Southwest airlines: fashion police of the skies

September 7, 2007 12:06pm

As someone remarked on another discussion - how is the mention about her being a Hooters waitress relevant here ? She wasn't wearing her uniform when boarding the flight.

Plus how about Southwest - they just had that big unpaid promo on CBS Sunday Morning last Sunday where they talked about in the past where their stewardesses were made to wear hot pants.
