Hum...they used a clockwork device (time clock) over here to switch street gas lamps on and off, so maybe you have a new project?
Who would ever think that a clockwork mechanism was originally part of a clock? Was the clock also a weather predictor? Maybe the pine cones opened to indicate good weather and closed up if it was going to rain.
I like your thinking out of the box!!! just trying to figure out British sense of humour!yes it is a cuckoo clock.but apparently you new that!Lol.
Sorry, yes. I was trying to be humorous in my above posts. It takes a bit of getting used to 'tongue-in-cheek' British humour, but you will soon be familiar with it on CPL and CCS.
And after that you just have to be familiar with Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Australian, New Zealandic, Argentinia, German and Belgian humour, and I think you soon will be able to tread the entire path of CPL humour... Oh, and of course also Taiwanese, Thai and Chinese. Hm... I'm sure there are many more.
I joined to learn and have fun...so far so good! I was in Europe and Great Britian in the 1980s and really enjoyed it.Appreciated that most of you spoke more than one language....except some of the dialects in G.B.....seemed like a different language!!!only called a Dam Yank once !!
This morning I was fighting something that looked a bit like that out of a coffee machine. Ground beans in at the top, spent grouts out at the bottom. Guess how it comes apart by modern Pictogram ( or Hieroglyphics). I did all dictated by the diagrams. Result = <thank you for playing>, "Calc and Clean" please...still in the display. Meh! - I'm going back to my '96 and a Mocha pot.
The first part of message - yes. Maker's name will be withheld to protect the guilty. what I really meant was this...
Swedalian! Yeah, I like my Vesuviana. It's a nice item. What I really would want, is an Atomic with a frother! Like this one (pic borrowed from eBay)!
