As I said - that town in Michigan. Can you imagine having to tell people where you live? Or worse, where to go? 🤣

My first crush, at the age of five or six, was on Debbie Russ (Tigger)!

“Oh June… I don’t think all those weighted blankets in the boot have helped the car’s grip and traction…” “Don’t be silly, Malcolm. You can always get a second class return to Nottingham. Can I have a Tune?”

That could explain his previous uttering when he thought his mic was off. Maybe he IS going to the states. To a little town in Michigan…

Still feels like Tower Records to me. Happy memories - mooching round on a Saturday afternoon

Oh Yes - Waterloo Sunset, ‘Terry and Julie’. There was two of each in my class at infant school. And only 14 in the class!

Me neither! Just doesn’t ever happen.

But Peter currently is shilling our new range of IW Turd Polish. Mikey says it’s flying’ aaaght (Like flung dung).

Might just need a good clean and a service. Oftentimes, just cleaning and re-oiling is all that’s needed. Having said that, a new mainspring should only add £25 to the cost. A service should be between £70 and £150, but do shop around - plenty will do it for £70 if the like the clock and its...

China?

I think that’s the mark of a good company, though. To honour their mistake. But I do have a feeling it’s down to the company, rather than the law.

Oh yes! After they’d been delivered at 9-30 and left in the sun all morning. Always just a little bit cheesy….

That line ‘like the Spanish City to me, when we were kids’ - the way Knopfler sings it brings goose bumps every time. Pure, distilled, nostalgia. And wonderful.

I’ve never seen that specific model, Duke. It’s a good looking clock though - harking back to the 60s and the Space Age, I think. Is it battery or mechanical? I only ask because the face says it’s a Big Ben Repeater, so it could have either inside. If it’s mechanical, which is my best guess...

sorry - my hands aren’t so good today and I hit post twice. Could mods remove this one, please? Thanks.

I’m not sure, Duke. Legally, displaying goods with a price ticket is what’s known as an ‘invitation to treat’. The sale contract isn’t finalised (in a shop) until the ‘ringing of the cash register’- the acceptance by the cashier if the money you proffer. (It came from a case brought by the...

Tomasz is also famous for thinking (genuinely) that sheep and lambs were different animals. Truly. 🤔

I think Sid and Doris Bonkers were always from Neasden. Come to think of it, ideal customers for IW… 🤣🤣

Iguana Sell are great, as well. Based in Madrid, their customer service is very good indeed - and their prices include all shipping and taxes. They have a good range of fountain pens as well. It’s a good idea to register on their site, because their sale prices are the ones to go for.

Ahhh, Westclox. My old dad was a very heavy sleeper - especially on days when he’d been ‘playing darts’ the night before. Anyhow, one weekend I borrowed his alarm clock - he wanted a lie-in and I had a Saturday job (id’ve been about 16 or so). I left it set for 6-30 which is what he always did...
