I once work at the Admirality many moons ago as a good old GPO telephone operator, there was a lady there called Tina [ I use her name as she must be long gone to another world] she had this lovely soft Irish lilt and I believe was one of the finalists for the voice of the speaking clock,she turned down dozens of invites to meet, why ? well she was 6ft tall and built like an Irish navvy, she owned a lodging house in Kentish Town and apparently ruled over it with a rod of iron.The face and the voice most definately did not match, she was a lovely person and could see the funny side of it.
