 | View Full Version : People in the UK.. Craig 03-14-2003, 12:17 PM I rang the speaking clock today (123 from a bt phone).. Got a suprise, not the normal man reading is it! its in aid of comic relief I would imagine I wonder how much money they get for each call? Craig Ionsurge 03-14-2003, 01:10 PM haha! Why did you ring the clock? I have never rang it since the wonder of bSkyB came into my home... :) ubergeek22 03-14-2003, 01:17 PM Lenny Henry has recorded a funny new message apparently (I must ring it and listen). It's all in aid of Comic Relief (which is why shops are sold out of red hairdye :o) KDAWebServices 03-15-2003, 07:56 AM Craig needs the company don't you? :D shaunewing 03-15-2003, 08:17 PM News article: http://www.ananova.com/entertainment/story/sm_758418.html --Shaun (who wishes the speaking clock could be dialed from Australia :stickout) KualoJo 03-15-2003, 09:31 PM very funny. didn't really realise people still phoned that thing...

I'll try when I have a landline available to me again :) --Shaun shaunewing 03-16-2003, 12:50 AM Originally posted by jstonehouse +44 123 :D Nope, no luck from the office either. There is a long delay and eventually "Your call could not be connected. Please check the number and try again". We've got a spoken clock here in Australia, costs 25c for every call. The voice has been the same for as long as I can remember. --Shaun |
