It does sound like the voice. Does it have a metal body rather than plastic? If so, then that's the one. But wondering why I called mine Cuthbert?

For some reason I called it Cuthbert, and as I am not in the habit of giving my gadgets names, I can only imagine it was actually called Cuthbert. Am I raving here or can anyone else remember this? It was great and lasted for years.
