Surprised this already hasn't come up.
The end of last week, we were all told that we had to precede P.A.
messages
with "Good (morning / afternoon / evening) ladies and gentlemen". By
Monday
it was reduced to "Ladies and gentlemen".
How do you feel about this? Do you think it's a tad Americanised?
Do you consider yourself customers or passengers?
Not only would I like to know, but I'm sure
would too!
I would say that using somethig like "Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening" or
somesuch is a useful way of attracting people's attention so that by the
time you get to deliver the message proper they might be listening to what
your saying.
