Loud Speaker

The second funny thing yesterday afternoon happened on Barnes High Street. I was walking home with my bottle of water when I noticed a queue of traffic by the chippy up ahead. Nothing odd there.

Suddenly, I heard a disembodied woman’s voice. Crystal clear right across the high street. She spoke of dinner, the wine she’d bought and punctuated each utterance with a little laugh. I stopped and looked around, no one else was walking on the high street. And the voice. It was perfectly clear, quite loud and very ‘real’, it really sounded like a loud-voiced friend was walking beside me.

Then the woman started to talk about, err, cocks. Or more accurately what she would do to one particular one a little later.

It became apparently when I drew level with an open-top BMW waiting at the mini-roundabout. He had his car phone on speaker… and wasn’t displaying a hint of embarrassment.

I really must commend those Germans on their speaker quality.

    hehe
    One of the things I recently had to LEARN about having an open topped car is that it is unwise to shout “Wanker! as you pass that white van with its window down…… unless you fancy a sudden high speed dash across country. Which is fun in its way, and keeps the tan topped up, but is much nicer if you’re not escaping a man in a van.
    Anyway, did you pick up any tips? Care to HAND THEM ON?
