Do you remember that phone number you could ring just to find out what time it was?

Seems so long ago now, eh?

do you remember when people actually used a phone for it's intended purpose... talking? 🤔

Time & Temperature, sponsored by a bank. Used to call it a lot when I didn’t have a watch or forget it. My daughter called one time & got the wrong number, I got my phone bill & she had called a Canadian number by mistake.

When the Bulova watch company came out with the Accutron watch you could call and get the time officially calibrated to Greenwich Mean Time.

Yes, apparently it was a guy called Tim. I don't know if he's still alive, that was over 40 years ago.
Lol
I remember that number

@BridgeOvertroubledWaters Oddly enough, I don't remember the number, only that the guy's name was Tim.

Yes ! Now you can look at most phones to see the time, without dialing anything. 🤔
