The ABZ ATIS is recorded manually, so on any day it could feature six or seven different voices, all of which read it at their own particular speed. Another common problem with it is the volume being too low - it gets obliterated by the ADN ident. I understand it is quite common for inbound aircraft to try and get it from the departure ATIS frequency, which, although on a weaker transmitter, is clearer when you eventually get withn range.
Most of the ATCOs at ABZ are as unhappy with it as the drivers who have to try and decypher it.
It seems that the only way an automated system will be installed is if enough drivers complain about it in writing (MOR).
And apparently, capital investment is directly proportional to the proximity to NATS HQ. As the most "distant" NATS unit, Aberdeen gets tuppence ha'penny!
