Work Protests and PSA’s
Posted on May 14th, 2009
This post is probably only relevant for myself Cus and Michelle – but found my old notebook from when we worked at BCA, which contained some crudely drawn protest placards which we used to hold up above our desks to each other from across the room:
It also contained a chronicle of the humorous public address messages delivered by the surly Irish front desk man (forgot his name?) here’s a few:
“Attention, attention. Would any member of staff expecting delivery of a T160 Sony Ericsson mobile phone – please report to reception…(repeats whole lot over again)”
“Attention, attention. The fire alarm system is about to be tested. There is no need to leave the building.”
“AA please. Would Bob the Steylo engineer please contact the cash office…(repeats)”
“(really loud) AA. Would Colin Roberts from JCS please contact reception. (quieter) Colin Roberts…(repeats)”
“AA. Would Dorothy from Mainline, please contact reception.”
“AA. Would Bob Winkle please report to the cash office.”
“AA. Would Joe Beige from Fast forward contact…”
“AA. Would Charlie Chestnut please contact reception…Charlie Chestnut please contact reception, thank you.”
“AA. Would Patrick Butt please contact reception…Patrick Butt…(repeats)”.
“AA. There will be a 2 minute silence to commemorate the people who died in both world wars and other conflicts…As the sun rises, we grow old as they will not…(abv.)”
“(quite flustered) AA. A first aider is required on the 5th floor. A first aider is required on the 3rd…Sorry 5th floor, thank you.”
“AA. Would Sharon Murry bring a stapler to the 5th floor, Sharon Murry bring a stapler to the 5th floor.”
