Tannoy Madness @ Heathrow Airport, London

Two guys have wasted their time at airports, in this case, London’s Heathrow, by writing down strange names and asking the airport Information Centre to locate these people by calling out their names on the airport’s PA system. These guys would then hang out beneath the speakers and record the results.

In order to make it as believable as possible, they dressed up as chauffeurs and asked for help finding these people about 40 minutes after a Thai Airways or Air India flight had landed.

They acted as if they could not pronounce the names themselves, so as not to reveal the joke, but just handed over a note with the names printed on it and asked the employ at the Information Centre.

After the fifth recording, they had to leave Heathrow as airport security figured out what was going on. The last recording is from Gatwick.

To hear the recordings, double-click on the speaker symbol (it’ll take a few seconds to start), listen and enjoy.

Give these guys the Big Practical Joker prize.
