Court Changes Quirky Answerphone Message After Online Mockery

Manchester: So, there was this court in Manchester that had a pretty wild answerphone message. People started sharing it online, and it went viral—over a million views! The voice was so over-the-top that folks compared it to Alan Partridge and even a sexy phone line. Some thought it might be AI.

People were buzzing about it, including Judge Rinder, who questioned if it was real. Turns out, it was! After a couple of days of all this chatter, the court decided to change the message. The new one still has the same info but is way less dramatic.

On social media, people had a blast with the old message. Some said it sounded like a character from a TV show or even a shopping channel host. Others joked about wanting to hear that voice read the football results. While many found it amusing, not everyone was a fan. Some thought it was too much and that less is more.

The Ministry of Justice confirmed the original message was accurate but changed it to fit better with their communication standards. So, the quirky voicemail is gone, but it sure made a splash while it lasted!
