Re: Nothing so severe
There was briefly an excellent announcer at Reading Railway station. He had a 'Caribbean' accent, and, let's just a say not merely 'a way with words' but an excellent turn in honesty.
"The 07:33 from Bracknell has been delayed, so all of you on Platform 4 are just going to have to wait."
And suchlike.
Used to brighten up my day no end.
He didn't last long.
