I'm still amazed at the number of station announcements, particularly at
city stations, made by staff who obviously don't speak much English or
who have impenetrably thick accents. I've got nothing against them being
employed but it stands to reason that you need people who speak clear
English to make announcements.

At Town Hall a week or so ago I noticed a number of laughing voices
messing around with the PA. This happened about five or six times. If
they were staff I hope they were disciplined.
