I know it's probably old news to you geezers on that side of the pond, but I was intrigued to read today that Emma Clarke, the lady with the sexy voice who has done the pre-recorded messages on the tube for the last few years, with such sexually charged messages as "Stand clear of the closing doors," has apparently just been fired for putting out a series of joke messages on her web site. These included such gems as...
"We would like to remind our American tourist friends that you are almost certainly talking too loudly."
"Would the passenger in the red shirt pretending to read the paper but who is actually staring at that woman's chest please stop. You are not fooling anyone, you filthy pervert."
"Would passengers filling in answers on their Sudokus please accept that they are just crosswords for the unimaginative and are not in any way more impressive just because they contain numbers."
"Here we are crammed again into a sweaty Tube carriage ... If you're female smile at the bloke next to you and make his day. He's probably not had sex for months."
Funny, they all make sense to me! It would seem that people traveling on the "Tube" are required to leave their sense of humour at the turnstile! Which is too bad as the whole bloody thing is becoming a joke!
