Wouldn't the first PA normally come from the flight deck?
Nope - its always been from the Purser as far back as I recall.
As captain I'm a pilot not a bloody DJ. I make one very brief
PA using only the bare essential elements as required by the
SOP. There is just far far too much yakking to pax these days,
who just want to get from A to B without all the excess verbal
diarrhea (not to mention PA volume levels so damn loud it must
be assumed by many Pursers most pax belong to the Foundation
For The Deaf!)
And everybody knows what a Purser is - ask me what a CSD
is and I'll reply its a component connected to the eng driven
AC generator. Again there are too many confusing acronyms
that I need about two helpings of alphabet soup to keep up!
