Don't frighten the sheep

[singhr]

Two nights in a row at my tube station I've heard a request on the tannoy for a hygiene and sanitation operative (cleaner?) to deal with an urgent 'Code 4' at the top of an escalator. Does anyone know what these codes mean? I mean I don't want to find myself heading towards a huge pile of puke or a severed head if I can help it. There must be a pdf somewhere on the web with Code 1=body, Code 2=body parts

Any ex-cleaners on here?

The local co-op has a tannoy announcing a "CODE 3" when they need more staff on the tills

Code 4 is disappearing a dead hooker from Ben Affleck's trailer.

Sometimes it's code for a fire alarm, suspicious package, jumper and so on.

meaning of code numbers for announcements at tube stations - WhatDoTheyKnow is about as much official info as I can find.

Likely none of the codes are worth checking out. I doubt, for example, they have a code for 'good looking woman streaking on platform 3' or 'pile of money left abandoned at top of escalator 4'. They are probably all bad news codes.

I think a 'Code 2' must be the same as a 'Code Brown'

A guy visiting a monastery asked one of the monks why they giggle after numbers are called out, to which the reply was that the numbers are codes for jokes that may be too long or rude to say. So the guy shouts out '69', which was met with howling laughter. So the guy asks the nearest monk what was so funny, to which the money said, ah they've never heard that one before

If you're in a supermarket, Code 4 means "Dodgy looking guy with Russian moustache heading for the door without paying for what may be a couple of vodka bottles and several packs of peanuts stuffed inside his coat".
