[VoIP] UK Speaking Clock

[Mad Mark]

Ian, you ARE incorrigible. Sarah Mendez de "Cost-a-lot"? Tsk tsk. First the CNET charges, now the speaking clocks. You've outdone yourself, and undone us. :)

> We have a slight problem with the UK Speaking Clock - on +44 8081 - on the UK loop   :-(
> 
> Due to 'royalty' problems initially believed to have been caused by a request from Sarah Mendez de Costalot (one of the voices of the Speaking Clock over the years http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speaking_clock#List_of_voices_heard_on_the_British_speaking_clock)  for royalties on the number of times that the Speaking Clock is called, the Speaking Clock has had to be moved 'off shore' until the problem is sorted out.

> It is then outside the control of UK authorities and a lot cheaper to run !  ;-) 
> 
> However the clock service is still available to those of you who use the UK's 'Speaking Clock' loop  on +448081.
> 
> We hope to have the service with Pat Symmonds resumed as soon as possible.
