Watches

[Killearn Kitties]

I have never got into the habit of wearing a watch. When I was young they used to stop within about 10 minutes of me putting them on. Once I started work, there were clocks, time display on phones, PCs etc.

I bought one a few years ago when I was travelling on my own, realising it might be useful to know the exact time even though I was away from my desk. I don't wear it normally, but I do try to remember to take it on holiday.

Was that after you missed the flight to LA to the PT BBQ?

Was there really any need to bring that up?

As a matter of fact, it was on my journey to LA. I have never been able to remember where it was that I had to re-route through, but as I went through the terminal, there was a stand selling watches and I thought "what a good idea!"

That is a completely different issue to the inability to set an alarm properly.

It was Pittsburgh. Very unusual routing....UK to Pittsburgh to LA...

Well remembered! You've got to take whatever route you can get when your plane took off 20 minutes before you woke up.

UK to Pittsburg?

You need to find a new travel agent as well as a watch, KK.

KK, Pittsburgh always has been a great city to buy a watch!

I am wearing said watch today, David. It's still going strong - unlike the travel agent.
