UK Talking Clock is now Tinkerbell

[nekokate]

I kid you not. This ain't a badly timed April Fool's Day post. If you're in the UK and you ring #123 for the Talking Clock, it's now Tinkerbell from Peter Pan. What the fuck?

It's kind of nuts phoning the speaking clock nowadays when you can get the exact time from so many places without paying 30p.

I was thinking more of web based clocks.

Eg. my mobile phone and laptop update themselves automatically.

Cute but I can see how it might get annoying if you were hearing it all the time.
