The sound file is also available in Ogg. We can switch them when people might be able to play it. CGS 10:51 6 Jun 2003 (UTC).

Erk, the MP3 sounds *weird*, whatever I play it in. The Ogg is fine. Maybe we should switch sooner. Marnanel 03:36, 28 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Just pointing out that it wasn't always five short pips and a long one --- until (1970s??) they were all the same length. -- Arwel 13:49 23 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Yeah, they changed it so people knew which pip was the hour when there was a leap second. CGS 15:07 23 Jun 2003 (UTC).

I think the redirect should be replaced with a disambiguation page -- there are enough alternative uses of the acronym to warrant this (eg. Grand Touring Super, such as the Dodge Viper GTS and Ferarri GTS) -- Matt 07:03, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

• Hex Hector links to GTS, referring to the DJ crew
  • http://www.artimage.co.jp/artist/gts/gts.html
• Westside Xtreme wrestling links to GTS, referring to General Trent Steel

I've created a disambiguation page at GTS. Neurillon 22:27, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ownership of the pips

I heard that the pips were owned by the BBC, while the spaces where owned by the Observatory - any idea where we could confirm this little quirk? Horus Kol 14:58, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Where did you hear this? It sounds like nonsense. 81.155.83.238 05:21, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

could someone please extend the information on Sir Terry Wogan 'crashing' the GTS? Thank You
