M Keith may be chronologically challenged (he is an old phart like many of us) but his time problem was due to a chronometrical difficulty or a gross calendrical malfunction...
ReplyDeleteProbably the gross calendrical malfunction I would say - remember the phases of the moon on the grandfather clock! Although if I remember rightly, the clock was right, M Keith did wonder at the time why the moon outside was not synced with the moon on the clock ...
