Lmao I was in the London Airport and the first announcement my friends and I heard was "don't leave luggage unattended or it will be taken and destroyed" in the most monotone and almost cheerful british accent.

this is actually really soothing. Reminds me of riding a nearly empty train back home in summer. The suns setting, and you’ve just come back from having a fun day out with friends in central. you’ve got nothing to do tomorrow so you feel all warm and fuzzy as you drift in and out of sleep. Then, the train announcement goes off as you stir and realise your stop is next. You walk back home while evening sets in and the streetlights turn on. Coming home, you make yourself a nice cup of tea, and then go to bed, cradled in the embrace of warm memories.
mine also repeats in welsh afterwards bcs we live so close to the border. it makes me laugh bcs a few years ago my little sister didn’t realise it was welsh and she turned to me one time in horror and said ‘is she ok???’😭😭

@Big Box I remember getting off an 8 hours long British airways flight at Gatwick from my holiday to Orlando and the I live in Nottinghamshire so it was a long, boring way up to London with thameslink then we got off and I think we took the tube to Kings Cross st Pancras and we were going to take east Midlands railway to Nottingham and change for a regional train but my dad booked a much later train not expecting to get there that early so we decided to take the tube to Victoria where we could have gone to directly with the Gatwick express but anyway we took a national express coach to Nottingham and then Went to Nottingham Central and got on the regional train to my town and we finally got a taxi home and we landed at like 8am and now it was like 6pm so a whole day of travelling (also I think the train we didn't get on was delayed)
Sometimes a station is 3 times louder than the others and it does my head in because nobody seems to know how to fix it. For years my train has announced "Calling at Chorley, Buckshaw Parkway, Leyland, Preston, KIRKHAM AND WESHAM!!!! Poulton-Le-Fylde, Blackpool North"
