							| Silly clock story 
 |  
							| Here is a little puzzle for your students. 
 A young man went into a jewellery shop and said to the shop assistant,  �Please can I have a potato clock?  
  �Well now, � answered the assistant,  �we don �t sell those here. We sell alarm clocks, cuckoo clocks and grandfather clocks, but we don �t sell potato clocks. To be honest with you, I �ve never even heard of potato clocks. Are you sure you aren �t mistaken? � 
  �I �m quite certain �, said the young man,  �I �m starting work tomorrow and my mother told me I would have to get a potato clock. � 
 What did the young man �s mum really say? |  2 Nov 2012
