There are other kinds of boots?

I really ought to learn enough sign language to say "can you turn that down
a bit?"

Alas, since they're playing a recording out of a solid-state buffer, they're
immune to jamming. Not that you can get decent radio reception on the Tube
anyway, even on the overground bits, due to the amount of RFI there already.

There should definitely be more RFI in the 900MHz and 1800MHz bands on the
Tube though.
