I read somewhere that some schools are going to stop teaching kids how to read analog time, because it's hardly used anymore. I guess it will, eventually, fade out all together.

I still take a few seconds to calculate analog time
I bloody hate it. I know how it works but it never appealed to me as digital is so much easier to read.

I bought my parents a record player not too long ago as their original one broke and finding the pin was almost impossible.

Found a lovely store with record players and spare pins and a whole thriving shop of vinyl music!

To be honest analogue confuses me. It's never made sense that the hour, which is surely the most important, is indicated by a small hand, yet the minutes, which are surely less important, by a long hand. It would be logical, I think, for it to be the opposite way around.

I also prefer digital and I prefer a 24-hour clock.

I always thought it meant there are less hours than minutes so the short represents the lesser amount.
I also only use 24H.

Good ol' Noddy - I used to love reading Noddy books!

@Hooked Your post of the Noddy books made me think of one of my favourites growing up, The Famous Five. Enid Blyton wrote so many good books.

Same here, and also her Swallows and Amazon’s and Famous Five series. Still have some of the books. Maybe I should start small again with my reading and move on from there.
