was always stamping tickets 5-10 minutes early.


The railway clocks in Villars 2 years ago were a few minutes out too.
Surprised me. In contrast the Tube ones are within a gnat's of
synchronised Casio time as told on m wrist. Once you go atomic on the
wrist watch, a bad comparison habit kicks off.

When I was still working at Uni Zürich, before I worked at PSI, I
used to go out to Brügg often, then take a bus to PSI for experiments and
meetings. The trains were supposed to leave every half hour, at xx28 and
xx58, but they were always late! Next timetable revision that was fixed
by re-scheduling them on the half-hour...
