LUL seem to like giving a running commentary - the top of the Circle
is particularly bad for this. It is pointless, as people ignore it
anyway.

It's worse than pointless -- most passengers ignore *all* the
announcements, even the occasionally useful one. For example, the
endless 'mind the gap' warnings should be confined to the few stations
that really need it, like Bank Central Line.
