Pauline, l wish l could laugh at this silly clock. I have even had to take it to the toilet with me, down to give my hens some corn as l didn’t want to miss if there was any time announcement at 4pm!
BooHoo, the woman is still rattling. The cockerel is still silent!

That made me laugh, John.

I mean, it’s ok in the day but not in the middle of the night!
I keep trying all permutations but she still keeps yapping on the hour.
It’s a shame that her name isn’t Alexa. At least, she obeys orders!

Tessa, You are so naughty!

I am sorry to hear about your ticking ears, could someone have planted a time-bomb in them?

You could make cochineal out of the beetles!

Leave the batteries out then, you don't need a clock, we can't go out. Just keep to time with the clock on your PC like I do.

Tiffany, Its a bedside clock! I wouldn’t dream of taking a PC to bed with me!
I wake up early and it’s usually dark but it’s nice to know the time! All I do, is press the button on the top of the clock and a voice speaks the time.
I am not bothered about the time for the rest of the day, unless l have places to go and people to see!
