Coded PA Announcements

[Jovis]

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

[Nick Harvey]

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

Will Mr Scott please go to the secret forum.

Depends where you are.

[Martin]

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.

At one gym chain I've worked for, there's Code Green for a medical emergency and Code Red for when someone is in critical danger.

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...

[Stuart*]

Unsurprisingly, it had the opposite effect on me!

[Sput]

It's ok stu, no-one will be staring at your jiggly breasts.

I certainly don't have moobs.

[Nini]

I certainly don't have moobs.

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