Mr Banks

[bikerblue]

"Mr Banks is in the stands" or something similar in the nineties over the tannoy. Can anyone else remember these announcements.They were always met with much amusement,I think it was some sort of security check or something but never really found out.

I think it was Mr Banks is in the Kippax, if I remember rightly. Think it was either security or fire alarm check.
