Hello and welcome to an episode.

Hello and welcome to an episode, episode number five in fact, of Little Fish, little Fish is the show where you send in your best

0:22.9

facts and we rip them to pieces or, and hopefully most of this this week, we tell you how

0:30.0

great they are and we've done a little bit more research on each one of them so we can tell

0:34.3

you a little bit more if we found some. So let's have no further ado.

0:39.1

Andy, give us a fact. All right. Izzy Turner writes him with a fact about the St. Anne's

0:45.2

church in Cork City. Cork City. Beautiful city. Yeah. It makes it sound like a factory town like

0:51.4

welcome to Cork City, son. We make all the cork, but that's not it. Can't grow Cork in Ireland. Wrong climate. So what's the... Right, it's not about the etymology of the name Cork, and it is his fact, but there will be a Cork city somewhere, right? Yeah, Portugal. Portugal. Tunisia is a huge cork growing...

1:14.4

1:14.8

1:55.1

Izzy's fact is about St. Anne's Church in Cork City, and all four clocks on the faces of the clock tower display a different time to each other.

2:06.0

2:11.5

2:13.0

I think they're all roughly right, but they're all different to each other.

2:16.6

Oh, so it's not like a London, Paris, Tokyo. No, it's all like 315, 319, 324. It's like, yeah. Question, so I have two people I know. One of them's my wife and the other one's Atat Tashinsky, who regularly have their clocks set to the wrong time so that they're never late for things.
