I know its petty but..
Does anyone else get annoyed by the womans voice which comes from the Pay & Display machines saying "have you remembered to lock your car and hide your valuables". If your buying a ticket, you've got to go back to your car to display the ticket, so you'll lock it then. If its already locked, how are you going to get your ticket in? She should say "don't forget to lock your car...".

And why does she sound so smug with herself? And why is it so load and distorted?

I think she should give useful information as well, like "its forcast rain so don't forget your brolly" or "someone had their ipod nicked round here last week, so be careful"...

It's Strix's voice - didn't you know? :hihi:

I always reply to her...I shout back "Yes I've locked my car and hidden the laptop in the boot". Does no good though, whenever I come back to my car the thieves somehow knew to break into the boot :mad:

As the message doesn't end with 'y'know, like' or 'ay, ay, ay' that's unlikely :rolleyes:

And thanks to Don for PMing me to make sure I noticed that dig :thumbsup:

Certainly spends time talking to herself obtain ticket and away. While she talks on.

I don’t need a ticket machine to do that I’ve got my mum and she is 10 times as bad.

Why is it mums still think you are stupid is my question. But we love them anyway.

Bigger fool you, if you walk off to the pay and display machine and leave your car unlocked, then you are likely to have it nicked! Lock it when ever you leave it!

I was giggling at the machine today after reading this thread yesterday.
I was in the lower bay of the car park behind Argos on The Moor.
Well on levels 5 - 7 there's an annoying womans voice, rather like the one describe din the first bit.
On the lower levels there's an mickey take Aussie voice who greets you with 'G'day mate' yadda yadda yadda in australian accent 'Seeya cobber' (or similar).
I think the guy behind me was confused by my apparent mirth at the machine.
Somelove - you've been heard!
