Hi David I agree. We have four old-fashioned striking clocks with hands in our house. But can anyone recommend a small clock. I have had a Slimline clock for nearly 20 years and it is dying. Most of the new clocks seem to have very strident voices and chimes. And I hate that awful cock crowing alarm!
