I cannot guarantee the authenticity of the following. I got the material, via e-mail, from a good friend, but he didn't cite his source. If they actually happened then they are fantastic, if they are a fabrication, well, they are still worthy of a really good laugh. And talking about laughing, they made tears drip from my eyes for minutes, I was nearly at the point of where the laughter was painful! If you thought Bart Simpson's crank calls to Mo were a hoot, then hold on for all that you are worth. Click the audio button for the related announcement.

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 DAT or 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!"
