Following advice via comments from my previous post, from well wishers about using the wrist watch instead of a smartphone to check for time, I reminisced about the good old days when either of the above two instruments helped when you could call a three digit number to get the exact time then.
Even wearing wrist watches, first the wind up, then the automatic winder and finally the battery cell variety, one could use the landline to check for the accuracy of the watch’s time when instinct told one that the time may be off.
I wonder if that facility is now available!
I remember that
And I remember a service that would call you if you wanted a special wake up call – like going on holiday and needed to be up and out of the home to catch a plane or bus…
There is a probably an “app” now ….

Yes, I should have mentioned that alarm service that called at a time that you had booked as well as fixed time trunk calls.
