          No, but I learnt to speak in the Tannoyese dialect when I did some work over on the Tannoy Islands a few years back.

          It’s technically a form of English, though as one of the more isolated former colonies, the “patois” has become quite difficult to understand - which is quite amusing, given the Tannoy Islanders’ tendency to apply to jobs which involve amplified public speaking.

    The funniest announcement in my railway station has been: “The train xxxxx coming from y and directed to z has been canceled because someone stole the electrical cables on the line”.

    Funny only since it wasn’t my train.
