FAO Foreigners - Ambulance noises

    In Ireland to make the ambulance (emergency services noise) we say "Nii Naw Nii Naw", ad nauseum.

    In your country how do you make the Ambulance noise?

    Also this question is applicable to calling animals. In Ireland if we are calling the hens for meal we'd say "chuck, chuck, chuck, chuck".

    What are the idiosyncratic noises of your country?

    (emergency services noise)
    "Eee Ow Eee Ow"

    (calling the hens for meal)
    "tsip, tsip, tsip"

    (calling cats)
    "kitchi, kitchi"

    That's how they do it in Poland.

    Well, we're on a break - AH is going traveling then off to college, she said we might be able to give it a go when she gets back but I dont know, all those sophisticated men abroad with their fancy european accents and foreign coffees and the like.


    I shall not go on about it though, it's really only a feeling Teddy would know.

    Any enquiries can be PM'd.

    you can probably catch her tonight on the radio.
