[Spridgets] favorite tools iin shop

[Guy R Day]

Around 25 years ago I was in a gym (thankfully my memory has gone for the 
reason why) and they had a clock behind the reception counter with a 2ft 6in 
diameter face and a finger missing.  The minute finger had dropped off after 
the clock cage was hit by a basketball and was at the bottom of the clock. 
I volunteered to repair it but the owner said he wasn't bothered and if I 
wanted it I could have it.  A three minute repair job (the clips at the back 
were fiddly) and a new battery every couple of years means I have had a 
large (and accurate) clock in the garage at home from a couple of months 
after it was built..  Well worth it, you have to be sure the coffee arrives 
every hour on the hour!
