I have to say that I am dumbfounded by the idea that a significant number of people are growing up unable to read a clockface. It had never occurred to me as a possibility, as analogue clocks are so ubiquitous (and indeed can be read much quicker in most circumstances than digital ones).
Is this a US phenomenon, or worldwide?
Jimor:
I've seen the inability to read analog very occasionally here in the U.S. A somewhat related phenomenon (if also rare) is the inability to translate approximate times. It's always 9:43, not "a quarter 'til ten".

It probably has some basis in reality, because if you think about it, it's convenient for checking a patient's pulse using just one hand.

funny thing - in the UK, nurses wear watches with upside-down faces on a strap from their left breast pocket. That way from their perspective all they need to do is look down.

--- Quote from: Jerein on 15 Oct 2010, 09:18 ---I don't see what's so hot about just putting your hands on her boobs. A huge part of my enjoyment about touching a girl's breasts is bringing her pleasure at doing so, and there's nothing really pleasurable about just putting your hands lightly there. C'mon Angus, you're in a back alley, knead those suckers!

No! No kneading, for the love of god. Nothing more uncomfortable than a guy kneading your boobs. God, the bad memories (or should I say mammories - ba dum psh!). It's not pleasurable, it feels a friggin' breast exam or something. They're delicate, okay? Although to be fair, it may just be me who hates it (any other girls want to weigh in?).

I don't mean kneading in the breast exam fashion. My wording was poor. I mean fondling. Caressing. Some sort of action instead of just mere hand placement.

I'm from the Continent, and we've NEVER heard of it.
