Looking at your wrist to see the time when you know you’re not wearing a watch

And some people even push back imaginary cuffs to do so.So says  Milo Jiggs , owner of  a watch and clock shop in Leeds,  and he will also tell you that it’s what all this customers do when they’ve left their watch with him – say to fit a new strap or change a battery. He’s told them that it’ll be ready in ten to fifteen minutes and then he sees them on their way out saying to themselves ‘Ten to fifteen minutes so it’ll be ready to pick up at ….”  and then up come the wrists. He’ll also tell you it’s the same with clocks  .

" And what aeon do you call this ?"

You have to put them forwards or back at the beginning and end of summer time so you take the wall clock down to reset it and then look back up at the space on the wall to see what the exact time is. Happens every time like some primordial instinct kicking in . (QQQQ)
