Heard at Sydney Terminal 13/12/00:
"The Newcastle train is due to depart in one minute. Unintending
passengers please leave the train."
Apparently the unintending passengers were rather slow complying,
because the train left two minutes late.
Could someone explain the difference between an unintending passenger
and an intending non-passenger? There are obviously some subtleties
here.
