You don't call a PA system a tannoy? That's news to all my English friends, who keep telling me that people announced things over the tannoy.

Oh that's in Blighty too? I'm kinda surprised because we Irish share much of the British slang/lingo via TV and radio. I'd never think of calling it a Tannoy, but I'd know what you meant if you said it.
