I myself have not worn a watch for a good ten years and enjoy it immensely! To clarify this, I am in essence a programmer - so the time is always in the bottom right hand corner, and there are a variety of software methods to remind one of meetings etc, so during the week I mostly know the time. At the weekends - who cares about time. Sure, you miss the odd event, but young children normally keep you in check for mealtimes. And when out sailing - tide is more important than time - so you can see it! and lastly - for pub opening hours - there's always the sun!!

I fear that some of the 'youths' I know seem to be rather fascinated by 'wiggling their thumbs' on some game on the TV! Bring back the 'grand tour' I say, what! Stay well Hi Henk,

Back in my hippy days (40 years ago for this wordpress enduro rider) I hitchhiked through the warmer parts of Europe. As we all did after finishing our studies. And yes, without a watch. I remember leaving it at home deliberately (I think) :) Hi Ian, nice observations.
