Clockwinder

So far, the palace has refused to make a statement about the incorrigible corgis. However, sources believe the feisty snappers have already wounded guardsmen, policemen, footmen and the royal clockwinder.

Buckingham Palace has more than 600 rooms. Margaret claimed to know more than 400 of them through following the official clock-winder around the palace to satisfy her curiosity.

I always liked to start the ball rolling and so I sang a great song called 'The German Clockwinder'. The song tells the story of a Dublin housewife whose husband is away and who is visited by the blond German clockwinder of the title, one Benjilum Fooks.
