CUCKOO CLOCK LAND

Time please , gentlemen ! This used to be the  call   way back  when   10pm  was the closing   time in  pubs. In the North Queensland  city of  Townsville   our  sober  Shipping Reporter , the only one north of  Wally World  , believes it  is  time for  gentlemen and  gals  of  the   media  to glance  at the  city's  public  clocks . He has been doing so for ages  and  found they  are   wonky , which reflects  poorly on the Queen City  of the  North ... can't get its  clocks to run on time .
 
Repeatedly, he pointed out the  former  post office clock  above, atop    what is  now the   Brewery  building  , has   been tipsy , would not pass a breathalyser test . No  matter     from  what  angle    the   clock   is  viewed  it  appears  blotto .
Admittedly   , the clock   at the Townsville   Travel   Centre,   on the railway building,    which had   not been   working for a considerable time , is back on the  rails   and  actually  showing  the  correct  time .
