“This stop is ……”
Anyone on the train from Ardrossan to Glasgow recently may have noticed with mild interest that Ardrossan Town has morphed into Cambuslang. ‘This stop,’ the recorded announcement assures us, ‘is Cambuslang.’ This might provoke a pantomime chorus of ‘Oh, no, it isn’t,’ but in fact, it generally seems to be received in silence. Is surrealism becoming the norm? Discuss.
