Geordie Elevators

Dont know if this is going to work, but I'll post the link anyway. But first I'll put it in context.

I have just got back from two days in Newcastle. Last night I was staying in a rather nice hotel on the edge of town. They had one of those talking lifts for the blind which says things like "doors closing" and "second floor" and stuff like that.

But they had obviously tried to get a regional slant to all this, and had obviously employed a local type to record the voice for the lift. So you got "Dahs Clowsing" in a lovely Geordie twang.

I tried to record it... the best I could do was use the movie recorder on my phone to do it (I didn't have time to find the memo feature) and I have tried to copy it to my PC and thus to the web. If only to prove to myself that I could do it.

You hopefully can here it here. Apologies for the dodgy video, I was trying to get the sound rather than worry about the picture. Also ignore the first 5 seconds which are just silence as I patiently waited for the lift to speak to me. You should be able to play the clip in Real Player if it can update itself with a new file. The wonders of technology eh?

Which reminds me of this old joke.
