Rob of Robot, Listened to one recording on this site. Of course the title is idiotic - there is nothing robotic about it, all it contains is recordings of...
Dennis, Did you not interact with the very impersonal desk clerk? It is in written form - though the button is misleading - it is marked "say". You can then...
