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

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
