I'm always cynical, if slightly amused, by delay announcements at rail stations in London. It isn't the bemusing excuses like "the wrong type of leaves on the line", or "delayed due to a delay"; no, my quarrel is with the words "I am sorry for the delay" as recited by an automated voice. The public address apparently doesn't represent any organisation or group, as it deliberately avoids using "we" in preference of "I", which means that a computer holding a set of pre-recorded audio samples is [i]personally[/i] apologising, and therefore legally accepting liability (in the strictest sense), for an inconvenience. Is this not a truly absurd concept? [small][b]Tao:[/b] Re: clothing labels. [i]So spot on! They make them out of nylon sandpaper, then stitch them with polyester razorwire...[/i][/small]:eek: [small](Edited by [url=http://www.ozoneasylum.com/user/4663]White Hawk[/url] on 03-21-2007 02:10)[/small] Loading...
