At one station where I served, they used to put the speaking clock over the PA at Met Brief - that stopped all nonsense from self important wheels thinking that the world revolved around them!
I seem to remember some time ago (was it the rehearsal for the Silver Jubilee Flypast?), that many of the participants were accused of being early/late at their gate time. Subsequent investigations showed that the BT speaking clock gave a time that was up to 12 seconds different depending upon where you were in the Country.
