Geriaviator (#12281),
Well do I remember "Tannoy" ("Stand by for Broadcast !") Two memories ...
I forget where, but some routine message had to be Tannoyed from the Guardroom. The Corporal was busy, and told a defaulter to do it. "Stand by for Broadcast", this lad started - and then dried up. At max volume round the Station then rang out: "What the F*** do I say now ?"
Leeming, shades of night are falling. From top Tower I make a welcome announcement: "Night Flying for tonight is Cancelled, I say again ..."
The Station's roar of delight was strong enough to be heard through the triple-glazing of the octagon !
