Oh, joy. Yet more audio assaults.

It needn't be.

Well, no, they don't need to be, but they almost invariably are,
whether due to incorrect pronunciation of placenames, inappropriate
timing of announcements or bad production techniques.

On the Underground, they are much better than they were, and I have no
complaints at all about Emma Clarke's announcements on the District
Line. What current incorrect pronunciations irritate you?




I think the Plaistow/Playstow has now been ironed out, but the
inappropriate inflexions still grate.
