Airport Announcements.
Listen to the recordings below.
Announcers were tricked into saying them under the pretence that they were
foreign names.
This is the story.....
“We‘d go and sit on the balcony at Terminal 3 at Heathrow, directly under
one of the speakers as the roof is low. We put the tape machine in our bag
with the microphone poking out of the top. We‘d look for a flight that‘d

We got rumbled doing the “My colleague just, etc “. They actually
threatened to arrest us, as apparently they‘d actually had complaints over
the previous weeks! We were toying with doing it again just to see what
they‘d arrest us for, but we rang Chris and all he said was, “go to
Gatwick!” This is the reason the last one sounds so crap ‘cos Gatwick is a
much noisier place and the ceilings are high, and it was difficult to get
