Hmmm? Isn't it? Banana?

Airport announcements

I was going to try and find proof of this before I blogged it, but get this:

In Tenerife Airport, the departures and other flight announcements were done by a computer with the various phrases pre-recorded and patched together as appropriate. No big deal you may think. But I am convinced that the voice was that of Patrick Stewart!

How cool is that? Being told to get on a plane by Captain Picard! I twigged it fairly quickly (Em refused to believe me at first) so spent an hour listening to all the inflexions and intonations and I am 100% convinced now. Em relented after about a half hour and also is convinced now. Mega.

I'm trying to find some evidence of it, but I still think it is the coolest thing. How sad of me...
