London Tube Announcer Sacked


The woman known as 'the voice of the Tube' on London's underground has been sacked after criticising the network and making spoof announcements including making fun of US tourists.

Emma Clarke has for the last eight years been famous as the voice warning travellers to 'Mind the Gap' between the train and the platform, and to 'stand clear of the closing doors.'

But the 36-year-old, a professional voice-over artist, annoyed her employers with a series of light-hearted spoof announcements posted on her own website, which at the moment is overwhelmed by the sheer number of people wanting to download MP3s of her spoof Tube announcements.
