Are all the announcements asking for 'Mr..' code related?

I think we ought to have a similar system of codes here.

Will Mr Scott please go to the secret forum.

An unofficial one used by staff in some leisure centres...
A code brown alert is when a baby has done a shit in the pool. :lol:

Is it just me, or are some of these codes, er, not very good. I mean, if I heard 'code red' over a tannoy anywhere, I'd be pretty convinced something pretty serious was happening somewhere around me.

Surely shouting 'code red' over a tannoy is just going to cause quite a bit of confusion, and possibly even panic?!

You can panic small numbers of people. It's crowds stampeding that's the problem. You don''t get so many of them in a gym. People might fall off their treadmills, but in a medical (read: heart attack) scenario you really want to get the staff's attention off a set of jiggly breasts and on a phone for an ambulance.

You know, I've never been all that keen on going to the gym. Yet for some reason the idea seems far more attractive now...

Unsurprisingly, it had the opposite effect on me!

Ergo you probably do. Don't worry, it's common in men of your stature.
