Who uses clocks

Since I started working from home, I haven't bothered putting my watch on. The band badly needs replacing but I haven't bothered

Could you start it, I'm all out of time

You don't need to know what times are right. They are still right.

not really the same thing is it. no one in their right mind would rely on a broken clock - how would you even know the two times a day when it is right? a broken clock is useless.

Even a player with a poor strike rate can hit a century.

The joke (radio emailer) was "1975 maths exam".
As I was not at school in 1975 I changed the date.
I left high school in 1964.
No idea who my maths teacher was then. My Latin teacher's name was Mr Bembrick. He wrote the textbook. His favourite saying was "If in doubt, I cross out (and you won't get any marks for it.)"
Big waste of time, most of high school. Instead of wasting my life trying to work out what on earth Shakespeare was talking about, and remember what coloured slippers English kings wore to breakfast...and what years they reigned...I would've been much better off being taught how cars worked, house painting, finance, and typing.
School? NBHS. Opened 1958. It wasn't a selective school back then, just the school everyone in the catchment area attended. Now you have to be a genius to attend. I have the old school tie. I no longer have the blazer with the emblem of which I was always embarrassed.
All-boys school, 1000+ students.

Bembrick died in 1960 and taught at SBHS
