The speaking clock..
Guess how many calls a year are still made to the speaking clock?
I'm not sure if it's you get it in other countries so as a summary in the UK you can dial a telephone number (123) to find out the time. In this day and age you would wonder why anybody would need the service. As a clue I well and truly under estimated..... ...30 million calls a year!! At 31p a call I make that over £9million pounds in revenue... ...nice little earner for BT.

That is shocking. I don't think most people realise how much it costs.

hmmmm....
My Local Talking Clock......  I'm guilty, but I always call it when I'm resetting a clock in the house. Was always quicker than firing up the lappie and checking the atomic clock. Maybe with iPads and iPhones this will start to wain? Had no idea it was 31p though, robbing dogs....

You guys have it too? We have a service here that when you dial (1023 - LOL I am serious), you get a woman on the other end of the line saying "when you hear the tone, it will be...(she then turns robotic) and tells you the time, followed by the beep. The last time I checked she translated it from English to Afrikaans as well.

LOL seriously? That is the one thing I have never used Google for. Do you search for sites that have the time?
