Voice of London Underground gets sacked for having sense of humour

So are they allowed to use the recordings of her voice, or do they have to re-hire someone else to do the usual recordings?

Surely if their to "protect" their image they have to get rid of her previous work..

A TfL spokesman said: "Some of the spoof announcements are very funny. But Emma is a bit silly to go round slagging off her client's services. London Underground is sorry to have to announce that further contracts for Miss Clarke are experiencing severe delays."

if they were the exact words, then that is a spectacularly trite way to respond.

Why did she do it ? It's not really that funny

Funnier that she effectively got the sack though. I'm not a fan of TFL at all, but can't see how she would expect to keep her job after that.

if her comments were taken out of context and she said she would hate to use the tube and have to hear her own vooice, then to sack her is rediculous imo. If however they wern't taken out of context then ofc they didn't have a choice.
