I was just amused by my 25 year old daughter.. she seems to have lost track of time because of the clocks changing  Roll Eyes I made the silly suggestion that she checked the speaking clock - she thought I'd lost the plot and was winding her up as she's never heard of it.
Does ANYONE use it these days, does it still exist? The last time I used it it said 'At the third stroke the time sponsored by Accurist will be......... ' I remember there was a slightly different version of it before that but can't remember how it went exactly.

I haven't checked but wouldn't there be many different language speaking clocks now in multicultural Britain.
