Donald Trump Auto Announcement at Liverpool South Parkway

[DaventryRabbit]

Just heard the following in Donald Trump style Voice
"To the Children Messing around on the Concourse please refrain from doing so. Please sit and wait at your designated Bus stop. No Jumping or Dancing around and definately no Tik Toking!"

 

[Northerngirl]

Sounds like the usual miserable staff there, can't have people enjoying themselves

 

[DaventryRabbit]

Possibly, but it sounded much more like an Automated Announcement rather than a live Manual One.

 

[GRALISTAIR]

Nothing will ever match the (in)famous one at Penrith station which of course had to be changed!!

And what was that?

 

[AirRail]

If automated why american? If aimed at children/teens, why Trump? Sounds all a bit bizarre. I guess americanising the UK is in full swing though.

Monday was of course April 1st….

Does anyone have a recording of the announcement

But isn't April Fools in the UK only meant to go on until midday?

In the same way that Christmas begins on 25/12 and Hot Cross Buns are something to be eaten on Good Friday, I suppose so.

What was that announcement?

Possibly the infamous one warning passengers of the risk of getting sucked off if they don't stand back from the platform edge?

I'm not sure if I've heard that does anyone have a recording?

That is the one!

 

[AlastairFraser]

It's a sign with that text.

 

[Skie]

Years ago (10+) there was a spate of official looking railway signs that popped up on various Merseyrail trains but were clearly parody. Things like:

Please leave windows open to avoid asphyxiation [Complete with gas mask symbol]

Oh, but that's fake.

 

[jon0844]

Oh, but that's fake.

Yeah, having waited near a platform edge for many hours I can confirm it not to be true.

 

[ExRes]

Have to say I've no real idea what a 'Donald Trump Auto Announcement' or a 'Donald Trump style voice' are supposed to be, I guess everyone can be grateful though that a completely mentally unaware 'Joe Biden Auto Announcement' and a mumbling 'Joe Biden style voice' haven't arrived yet

I never heard that one. I remember at Penrith one of the eariest automated announcements used to say "on board will be a service of [pause] snax [long pause] light refreshments..."

Maybe The Donald is paying for his legal fees by doing a little voice acting.
