Tube drivers who think they're stand-up [sit-down?] comics - good thing or bad? Some announcements I've heard over the intercom recently:

"Good morning boys and girls. This is your one-and-only Jubilee Line service. We're now arriving at the glorious Finchley Road."

"Good morning passengers and welcome to your DLR service to Bank. This is your captain speaking. We are about to descend. Please ensure your tray tables are folded away and your seat is in an upright position."

"Goeie more dames en here, welkom op u Jubilee Lyn diens na Stratford. Die volgende stasie is Wes Hampstead."
