He must indeed be a remarkable bloke if he's been mending your clock for two hundred years. Isn't it about time you had him serviced too? Or at least gave him a long service medal? I'll tell you this, you must be a bastard of an employer if you don't think he deserves a rest by now.
He's only in his sixties. He calls my clock 'the old lady'. It's me that's two hundred years old. |

in a way, I do. Our clocks went back a month ago and I have a collection of gorgeous Art Deco style watches..all need to hand wound. |

I chocked on my hot chocolate as I first read that as old cocks. I have six. Old clocks that is. Including a long case Georgian -late 1700's. It's extremely valuable and has cost me a small fortune to upkeep, so I daren't touch it. It needs seeing to as it is currently four hours behind. But I have a man I keep meaning to call.
