Went to the electrician shop today to get a huge battery for a flashlight and a tiny one for my watch. The big one worked after it had been turned round a couple of times, but the watch battery, oh dear what a palaver. It didn't help that I had somehow managed to lose both the old battery and the lid thing that clamps it down.
I went back to the shop. The geezer sold me another new watch battery that had been leaking and was dead, and found my old one in the wastebasket. Perhaps it wasn't an old one after all because the watch works with it. But without the lid thing I had to stick it down with elastoplast, with something packed under it to put pressure on the battery. A very fiddly business it was too. I wonder how long it will last.
