I have a speaking clock in my room and a gospel voice comes out telling the time.

Maybe there's a business opportunity!!

But I guess it just had to be done.

Edit; On Topic! It's useful sometimes!! 31p is a bit expensive though, not happy about that.
I remember once someone had called it on a school friends phone and put it back in his bag until the call died out - ouch did he have a huge bill!

Do they change the person who does the voice on that service, like once a year? Just pondering.

wow that is a lot of calls and a LOT of money!! I remember when I used to work in a department store when I was at uni, there was no clocks around and we didn't wear watches. We used to dial the speaking clock all the time to see how long was left til we finished! Until our manager found out and went crazy at the bill.
