I assume it's a theamed speaking clock thing. Like when they got Tom Bakers voice to do the text->speech service.

I phone it quite often, for company, and was not pleased with that stupid loud bitch being on the other end.

I reckon someone should start a manual talking clock.  Employ some people to answer calls personally and tell people the time, this automated shite is not customer focussed enough.

Anyone want to work for me at the new talking clock?

The interview would consist of role plays, and a few practice runs, consisting of

"Good afternoon, you're through to the real talking clock, the time at the beep is xx:xx beeeeeep"

People would much prefer that surely?
