Sarcastic Rail Announcers

We had an unusually sarcastic announcer on the train to Brum yesterday.

She came on to tell us about the range of food and drinks available from the buffet car. After going through the usual welcome spiel, she went on to extoll in detail the virtues of the bacon baguettes, telling us that she had ditched the supply of tomato ketchup at the last station on the basis that it wasn't as tasty as brown sauce then announced that we were more than welcome to drop in for a nice hot chocolate topped with cream and whatever little sprinkles we fancied. She finished up by explaining that the buffet car was located in the centre of the train, and that if we weren't sure where that was in relation to where we were sitting than we should have been paying more attention when we were getting on the train.

Laughed, I did.
