    I'm the technology correspondent at the BBC - and a man who likes to fiddle uncomprehendingly with new bits of tech, and then hurl them against the wall when they don't work

    I am a radio futurologist, and look at how new technology is changing the face of radio. Audioboo's probably part of that.

    “I commute from Peterborough to London and endure this twice every week day, it's horrid! And the worst of it is the script they have to read isn't even grammatical. "Hi, my name is Tracy your train guard today..." Really? Your name is "Tracey your train guard" today? What is it tomorrow? If it had just been written at "Hi, I'm [name] and I'm you're train guard..." I wouldn't be cringing at it every single time. And then they tell you how you can use electronics in the quiet coach provided it is switched to "the silent mode", as though there's one big universal silent mode that anything can be switched to. And it's always delivered in this weird sing-song voice that nobody uses to talk with, and it's done so fast that if you did actually need to know any of it you'd not pick it up at all, the understanding comes with familiarity, but at the same time comes irritation and contempt. They tell me all about the different coaches, how to use the wifi, how to look after my luggage, where the train is stopping, what tickets are valid, and how to report anything suspicious, among trivialities about what the buffet car is selling and how long the queue is. It's utterly awful. Why do they persist in this torture?!”
