Did you know that the current female announcer of Mind the Gap - Sonia is thought to be too posh. She 'gets- Sonia nerves', say tube drivers. In recent tests somebody mimicking the voice of Marilyn Monroe proved to be a favourite.
I think John Wayne would be good - "Get off your horse and Mind The Gap", or how about Clint Eastwood "Go ahead punk, Mind The Gap".
Midweek magazine, a London free mag, also picked up this story, and had some ideas of their own. My favourite was the Hugh (Hugh Grant) "Look, really, I'd like you to, you know, mind the gap at Notting Hill, that sort of thing".
