Watchmaker can't Tell Time

From the Daily Chronicle: In a rare case of temporal amnesia, London resident and watchmaker Hubbard, has suddenly lost his sense of time. As a consequence all timepieces coming out of the workshop are set to random times. According to physicians monitoring the case, the symptoms vary from being unable to tell time from the face of a clock, to being confused about such common concepts as yesterday and tomorrow. Relatives close to the poor man have said that this is not the first time that it has happened. There are at least three known occasions previously where the watchmaker lost the ability to reason about time. In each of the cases the effects lasted only short periods of time. Since the well known watchmaker is responsible for the accuracy of Big Ben, the city of London might be called into a state of emergency by officials. Please disregard the time provided by Big Ben's clock until the mysterious illness of its caretaker has passed. This newspaper will keep you posted on further developments as they come in.
