Fair enough, she's half-Irish, so I make constant allowances, but I just went in to say goodnight to the Ancient Mater, and noticed that her watch was 15 minutes fast. "Your watch is running fast," I said, helpfully undoing it (her eyes aren't too good at furtling about with the strap) and correcting it. "Oh, yes, it is," she said, "I've set it fast because it was running slow."
But OF COURSE! Why didn't I think of that?
