Tube announcements

I was travelling on the Jubilee line, just pulling into Stratford (the last stop), when I heard this announcement.

“The next station is Stratford, where this train terminates. Thank you for travelling on the Jubilee line, and I hope you have a very pleasant evening.”

(pause)

“Unless, of course, you were the person who pulled the passenger alarm at Westminster, in which case I don’t care what kind of an evening you have.”

If it weren’t happening to me, I’d appreciate the British sense of humour.

I was at the King’s Cross station, buying tickets for the next week at a counter.

“Hi, um… I already have a zone 1-5 pass…”

“Con-gra-tu-LAY-tions!”
