Just out of interest, what's the attraction of a pocket watch? I
believe that they've been superseded by wrist-watches, or in the
case of today's yoof, mobile phones. ;-)

I wear a wris****ch. I have to keep taking it off whenever I make
vetinarian-stylee internal examinations of musical instruments and
during the rest of the day it gets scratched, scraped and abraded
away. I used to have a pocket watch which stayed clean and bright and
useful but I can't remember what became of it. Anyway: what are these
"mobile phones" of which you speak? Something you hang over a baby's
crib?

An unnecessary device that ensures that, wherever you are, you are
still tied to the rest of the world wanting to communicate with you.
There is no peace once you acquire one,

Don't be so free and easy with the number.
