VBG - my late husband was a watchmaker - occasionally he did work for other watchmakers - one day he was in Mr. P's clock and watch shop when a customer brought an antique clock back in. The very irate lady said - this clock doesn't keep accurate time!
Mr. P replied - well - I only guarantee it to run - I don't guarantee it to keep time! Richard almost fell off his chair!! He couldn't believe what Mr. P was telling his customer.
That became a standing joke at our house! Richard didn't do any more work for Mr. P - didn't want to be associated with him after that.
