I want my money!!! (He roars) Fee Fi Fo Fum - Bring me some peasants to fill my tum! Fee Fi Fo Fame - I smell the blood of a Devon Dame I will make our Dolly scream, when I slap her on a scone with clotted creamScript 2Due to the closure of Wandsworth Bridge this bus will terminate at Sands End, Sainsbury's. For all bus stops south of Wandsworth Bridge to Clapham Junction alight here, walk down to the junction with King's Road, turn right and walk to the eastbound stop named Edith Grove Worlds End for bus route 728.**Listen to all of our podcasts here - you can also watch on YouTube, or say to your smart speaker "Play How Do You Say That?!"About our guest: Emma Hignett is a former dancer, former radio host, former tv weather girl, and currently a voiceover artist. She is best know as the voice of London's buses, Riverbus, the Overground Train system and bus services outside London including Go North East, East Yorkshire, Midland Classic and Transpora. In 2022 the Elizabeth Line went live in London, and she's thrilled to be the voice used on the capital’s latest underground line. It all happened thanks to a dancing job in Mexico ... she went out with a Lancashire accent, spent 9 months with a bunch of southerners and came back RP ... or at least able to do RP!
