The new voice of the Speaking Clock has been announced and I think he is great. Nice to have a regional ( Scottish) accent for a change !

Haven't phoned it for years - who needs it now with all our computers and iphones? And it costs quite a lot...

How do you access it?

So long ago I can't remember the number.
I saw the announcement on One Show and thought the same Ana

I remember dialling TIM - and it was free!

It used to be 123.
It's not free any more. 45p a minute from BT landlines.
