Met. Police Spend £35K+ on Calls to Speaking Clock
Madness!
The Metropolitan Police has apparently spent more than £35,000 on 110,000 calls to the Speaking Clock in the last two years & £200,000 calling directory enquiries according to figures released to the Press Association under the Freedom of Information Act.
At SimplyFone we have a very good solution…
Transfer to our low-cost telephone services for all your calls & line rentals and reduce those costs dramatically.
Scotland Yard said officers and staff, many without internet access, needed to know exact times and contact details.
Officers and staff also made nearly 55,000 calls to find out the time last year…
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: "We are committed to reducing such costs wherever possible...”
Hmmm…
So remember, just look up www.SimplyFone.com & reduce your company telecom spend today.

All clues referred to Chief Inspector Jacques Clouseau please

Why is there such a need to know the exact time - won't a rough approximation do?
