Listen to the recordings below.
Announcers were tricked into saying them under
the pretence that they were foreign names.This is the story.....
" We' d go and sit on the balcony at Terminal
3 at Heathrow, directly under one of the speakers as the roof is low. We put
the tape machine in our bag with the microphone poking out of the top. We'd
look for a flight that'd arrived in the last 40 minutes from somewhere where
you'd expect mental names, then write a letter saying "Could you go and
pick up etc. etc. from flight, etc " . That way, it looked like it'd been
arranged in advance as the flight arrival details were written on the note.
We also wore an ID-style badge and carried a mobile so that we looked like taxi
drivers. One of us would get the first one read out and then the other did the
second. We ' d pretend to be unable to pronounce it and then hand them the bit
of paper with the name written on it.Long winded, but well worth it!

We got rumbled doing the "My colleague
just, etc ". They actually threatened to arrest us as apparently they '
d actually had complaints over the previous weeks! We were toying with doing
it again just to see what they'd arrest us for, but we rang Chris and all he
said was, " go to Gatwick!" This is the reason the last one sounds
so crap ' cos Gatwick is a much noisier place and the ceilings are high, and
it was difficult to get near a speaker. The lengths we had to go to... "
