MikeO Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Actually in 1776 Percival Maynard Brunswick III opened a small clock shop in Nempnett Thrubwell in Somerset. He was funded in his enterprise by one Ebenezer Baker, a local landowner and philanthropist, on the condition that he called his shop "Bakers." Unsurprisingly this caused much confusion among the local farming community who were forever coming in asking for a loaf of bread, to which Brunswick famously replied, "Fuck of you bastard, I'm a horologist, I told you that yesterday you inbred son of a sheep!" Inevitably however, due to the simple rules of supply and demand (very few in Nempnett Thrubwell could tell the time), Percival gave up and in 1781 bought a second hand oven from a man in Bath and began a very successful career making bread. Jimmy is too narrow in his thinking . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
