            The odd ceremonial dialect used in train announcements:
            "...is situated..." where "...is..." would have done nicely;
            "arriving into"
            "accommodation"

                    People who only use commuter trains on a Friday night when going away for the weekend and hence don't know to keep THEIR BL**DY PHONES OFF in the quiet carriage.
