"MIND THE GAP BETWEEN THE TRAIN AND THE PLATFORM"- FACE OF EMMA CLARKE UNVEILED

Ever wondered who directs you to go to “cashier no 3 please” while you are on a queue in many of the stores scattered around London and beyond? Or maybe you just can’t be bothered.

The man behind the voice is revealed as Terry Green, 53, (pictured left) a father-of-one businessman (and queuing expert) from Stratford-upon-Avon. Mr Green, whose voice guides an estimated 30m customers to vacant tills in 8,000 stores every month, says his voice is often recognised if he is using his mobile phone while waiting in a long, automated queue.

For travellers on the London Underground the voice of Emma Clarke, 42, (Pictured right)who tells passengers to 'mind the gap' and warns them which stations are coming up next will all be too familiar.

Her voice has been used on the Tube since 1999 but in 2007 her contract for future announcements was terminated by staff who felt she had criticised them in an interview.

A professional voiceover artist from Cheshire, Ms Clarke is also the voice of many car sat-navs.
