Talk:Tannoy

message: I heard from a Texas-based sound company owner that BGW Systems was influential in bringing the Tannoy brand to the United States. Any references to support this observation? Binksternet (talk) 05:08, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Short page? 

message: The article as of Sep 11th 2013 gives reference that the word tannoy is in common usage up until at least mid-2010 citing a bbc article which uses the word generically.
Here is a more recent example: 14th January 2012 - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-16564553  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.159.237.218 (talk) 18:33, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Tannoy remains in common use in British English, referring to any form of public address system other than a performance PA. Usage doesn't seem to be declining though it can have a retro sound to it in some circumstances. --Ef80 (talk) 21:56, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  2022 - Tannoy is used in Dailymail.co.uk meaning "PA system", "loudspeakers".  So the word is still in use.  "The airport so chaotic that PILOTS are now ranting to passengers about it: Furious Gatwick customers vent their fury after WizzAir captain lost his temper over the tannoy after 'SEVEN-hour' runway delay". Should this be included in References?   Link  captain lost his temper over the tannoy  I had only ahazy clue to the meaning, so this article is really useful. --Janwikifoto (talk) 15:54, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Tannoy in modern usage as generic term for speakers 

message: The article says "The term "tannoy" is often used generically in colloquial English throughout the British Commonwealth".
Rubbish. I have never heard it used in Australia. And there is no source for the claim.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.209.5.49 (talk) 07:02, 7 September 2017 (UTC)
