Emma Clarke, the voice of the London Underground has just been fired for recording and posting some spoofs on her own blog. “Mind the gap” no more. To spare her server and just in case she’s forced to remove the recordings from her website, links to the recordings are below:

“Do not drop litter on the train. Please use the tramps provided”

“Warning, this is an emergency. I’ve chipped a nail”

“Would the passenger in the red shirt pretending to read a paper, but is actually staring at that woman’s chest, please stop. You are not fooling anyone. You filthy pervert”

We’d like to remind our American tourist friends that you are almost certainly talking too loud.”

“Passengers should note that the bearded gentleman’s rucksack contains the following items only: Some sandwiches, a library card and a picture of a bare ankle and is no cause for alarm”

“Passengers are reminded that a smile is actually a friendship signal and not a sign of weakness”

“Would the passenger in the pinstripe suit and £1000 glasses who obviously works in the media, please take one step forward on to the track as the train arrives. Thank you.”

Residents of London are reminded that there are other places in Britain outside your stinking shithole of a city, and if you removed your heads from your arses for just a couple of minutes, you may realise that the M25 is not the edge of the Earth”

“Passengers are reminded that, like all voiceover artists, I probably look nothing like you imagine and may turn out to be somewhat of a disappointment”

“Would passengers filling in answers on the Sudokus please accept that they’re just crosswords for the unimaginative and are not in any way more impressive just because they contain numbers”

“Here we are again, crammed into a sweaty tube carriage. And today’s Wednesday - only two more days until you can binge drink yourself into a state of denial about the mediocrity of you life. Oh, for Goodness sake, if you’re female smile at the bloke next to you and make his day. He probably hasn’t had sex for months”
