Unfortunately, they seem to love to hear themselves talk. Most of the time, they don't really have anything to say. I love the ones who go off down memory lane to 1965 and tell us all about a moment in time that was very funny (to them). PA announcers need to stay in the present and give us the information that we need not what they want to tell us. Please, save if for your biography.

Agreed that so many of the PA systems are outdated. I realize it costs money but many are past the time of replacement.
