I’m not going mad but…

I was driving on the M80 this morning and, near to Cumbernauld, a woman with an Indian accent started repeating a phrase along the lines of “Take the fishing rod. Take the fishing boat. Go to the hotel. Repeat.” This was a surprise as I was listing to a football podcast on Apple CarPlay at the time. Her voice was superimposed on the podcast.

I tried changing podcasts. Same voice. Same message. Like an angling version of the broadcast numbers from Lost.

I switched to Spotify and played music. Same voice. Same message. Just played over a song this time.

I switched the music off and the voice stopped. I switched it back on and it kept going.

I switched to Radio 1 on DAB. Same woman. This time she’s speaking at the same time as Greg James.

“Take the fishing rod. Take the fishing boat! And now yesterday’s quiz!”

I switched it off. The voice stopped. I switched it back on and she’s back again.

This continued for five minutes.

And when I left Cumbernauld, the voice stopped and everything returned to normal.

And all I can think is that I can’t be mad because I can turn the voice off!

Also I don’t like fishing.
