Wore our favorite watch to England. In fitting with all else that's happened, it stopped.
After getting the panels started at Celebration, made a special excursion to a nearby mall especially to visit a jewelry store and get new battery.
Jewelry Store: couldn't touch watch, as it would necessitate removing watchband first. This high tech operation beyond their capabilities. Sent down the hall to...
Watch Repair Place: told battery would cost nine pounds. Agreed on price, then repairman saw watch start again. Declared watch was not on low battery, but instead definitely broken, necessitating dispatch upstairs to...
Snooty Watch Place: told they couldn't even touch watch, as it was a Fossil, and they had no contract with Fossil. Instructed to take watch to Bond Street. Frustration with entire continent of Europe drove us back to...
Watch Repair Place, where, like typical stupid American, we instructed Repair Guy to shut up and replace the damn battery already. Which he did. "Here ya go love!" (We loves it when they call us "love" and obviously don't mean it.)
