Any fool with an FM radio. DAB and satellite listeners only have a vague
idea of the time.
It's amusing to ask a few people the time. Those with digital watches
are usually least accurate.
At least the mechanical ones are usually set from an accurate source and
wound up each time they are used,

Well I never, I hadn't realised that chronophiles engage in the endless
analogue vs digital argument. Arnie; old bean, an opening for you
there, mucho debating points waiting to be scored:-)

Once you reach a certain age and state of memory deterioration it is
sufficient and can be a reason for self congratulation when one knows
what day it is.


Which is why one of my watches (the one I wear all the time) is a day/date
Timex....
