“I was walking down Anlaby Road the other day too wearing a perfectly good watch but nobody asked me the time. I can't believe the ignorance of some people.”

“One of the finest stories you've ever covered. Wish I could find the punch-line. Maybe I didn't have the time.”

“Maybe it was time he had a watch? When I was at school a friend of mine caught his mum and dad at it. His dad said "If you forget the incident I'll give you my watch." The following night one of the friends who'd heard the story listened for his mum and dad to start cogitating. He burst in and said "I wanna watch". His dad said "Well be quiet and sit down there". Haaaa!”
