JonF - that was the 'Faro' effect, also experienced in Spain when more important traffic wishes to use a different runway from the one you have prepared and briefed for and told the pax about. Normally the 'change' happens fairly late in your carefully planned arrival for the other runway and correcting the PA becomes a minor consideration.
