Angry Youngman has informed us that Emma Clarke, known as the voice of the London Underground for her subterranean subway announcements, has been sacked for posting humorous (or “humourous”, in local parlance) announcements on her website.

Here’s one we can all appreciate:

Apparently someone else will have to remind the Britons to mind the gap.
