For anyone who is totally freaked out by BT's new speaking clock with f*cking Tinkerbell as the voice...

The really old one (e.g. before sponsorship) can still be heard on 01352 83 8081. Allegedly it's a normal call charge, not the exhorbitant rip-off rate for the new one.

Personally I wear a radio-synched watch.

Tinkerbell is Disney's latest mega-marketing ploy...

So, let me see if I have this right; BT's speaking clock is now a Disney marketing device, and they are charging MORE to people that call it? Isn't product placement supposed to keep the cost of something down?

I guess I'm hopelessly twentieth century...

It's called Adding Value, just like the Water/Phone/Energy/Transport privatisations.

They're privatizing water? Haven't they seen Tank Girl?
