Then there is this anecdote. Charles Lamb who worked for long as a clerk in India Office was once faulted for being late and he answered helplessly, You never notice when I am leaving early.
For some reason when I saw this one I thought of:
A diller, a dollar,
A ten o’clock scholar
What makes you come so soon?
You used to come at ten o’clock
And now you come at noon.

He was brought up on a digital time piece. Character flaw or cultural dissonance?
