The photo has nothing to do with the discussion. I took it in the Art Gallery
There have been several posts lately about clocks and watches. We had what we called an ‘Irish’ clock once. The numbers went anti-clockwise. After a short time, we had no trouble at all reading it.
When someone came to the house, we’d wait for them to say ‘there’s something wrong with your clock’ as they invariably did. We had an old Polish friend whose English wasn’t too good. When he looked at the clock, he said ‘Huh, other way going’.
And speaking of things Irish, our son arrives from Ireland tomorrow.

I hope your son arrives safely and you all have a wonderful visit while he's there. 
Somebody I used to know had a clock just like that. His lost time and had to be reset about once a month.

@JudyEv I didn't pay much attention to it other than to note it ran backwards.

Well, he could convey his message well with his not so good English...that's the main point of any language 
.
That sounds like an interesting clock and would definitely be weird for first timers.
Have a good time with your son. Hope that he is there for long enough.

@JudyEv Enjoy it. It looks like long but time flies and even faster when you don't want it to.

This sculpture looks very lively. It reminds me of sculptures at the Morgan Hill City Hall.

It is lively indeed. They must be playing something quite jazzy.

It was funny waiting for people to tell us there was something wrong with it.

I've seen a clock like that somewhere. Maybe in a movie or something. Enjoy your time with your son!
