Pinsent at the mayoral banquet at Winchester: A somewhat deaf old Alderman expressed surprise at meeting the Town Clerk of his borough in the street. “I thought you were going away,” he said. “Going away?” asked the Town Clerk, “I’ve heard nothing about it “. “The committee decided that you should go away — not been up to the mark — wanted an overhaul,” the Alderman explained: “I voted for it.” And then the Town Clerk saw daylight. “It wasn’t me they were talking about in committee,” he said — “it was the town clock!”
