I watched a documentary about this job - it was really difficult, the clocks aren't all just sitting on mantelpieces, some are up towers and in walls of buildings and very dangerous to get to some of them. There's a lot more to it than you might think. The salary is quite justified in my opinion.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

The salary might be justified but the job itself isn't

why not?
There must be a lot of antique clocks that need to be maintained; Me think it is not only a job to set the clock to the proper time, but to maintain and conserve them.
I'd rather be phishing!

I don't think there must be thousands of clocks be running at the same time while nobody even needs them. Sure, there are probably a few dozen clocks which are used. But is there a need to run thousands?
Maintain and conserve does not necessarily involve "keep them running all the time and keep them accurate".

If there were arguments about the accuracy of your time settings, you could have wars about it.

Mmmh, I think the idea is clear, even though he used globish ( which I do myself, so I am an expert, mind you).

From our correspondent in Brighton -
As Ed Balls entered the conference to a standing ovation, Mrs Wife overheard a delegate say "Either Yvette's had a LOT of surgery or he's using a model to make him look butch."
BTW, she thinks he's a sunshine, but was impressed by the speech and his delivery.

A man who thought Brown was the Messiah and who completely screwed this country with his crap policies and who, on this morning's Today programme on the home service said that it had been 67 years since the Labour party won the 1945 general election.
Can we really trust a man who cannot count to run the economy any better than he did last time he was allowed anywhere near the reins of power?
