Yup, 132 years old.
My hands you may retard
Even the clocks are calling me names!
damn ableist clocks
“was erected in 1892; removed from the site in 1964,[1] and restored and re-erected in 1981”
WTF were they doing that took 17 years to restore?
Corrupting him
There is a rhyming couplet Apology for Summer Time signed “J.W.R.” affixed to the body of the clock:
“My hands you may retard or may advance my heart beats true for England as for France.”
Not on my watch you don’t.
“The couplet is a reference to the plan that the clock be permanently on Daylight Saving Time leading to the time being correct for France during the winter months and correct for the UK during the summer. However this policy was either changed, or never implemented, since recently it is on GMT in winter and BST in summer like all other clocks in Great Britain.”
Hurrah, those cheese-eating surrender-monkeys have been fought back from the bally-old British shores once again.
He’s old okay. It takes a little longer to re-erect than it used to.
No, but it does imply the existence of a Talking Ben.
“It’s five o’clock and all is well, you cunts.” 😄
I was referring to the cartoon dog called Talking Ben, you know, the guy we used to make phone calls with and he always replies with “ho ho ho”
But this is also a very good description.
