An announcement at a south London railway station.

ANNOUNCER: Passengers awaiting the next Victoria train…Ladies and gentlemen, you’re going to love this one. Well, you’re not, but anyway…The reason your next Victoria-bound train is running late, ladies and gentlemen, is apparently due to there being a crisp packet on the line at Carshalton Beeches. Imagine that, eh? Gord knows how many tons of brand-new passenger train brought to a standstill by a crisp packet. Just think, ladies and gentlemen, if the Kuwaitis had scattered a couple of dozen Golden Wonder packets in front of Saddam’s tanks, the war might never have ’appened.
