:flee: We have a Lötscher cuckoo clock that we bought while on holiday in Interlaken many, many, years ago. Are we at risk as well?

You should be OK as long as you don't discuss sensitive information with mrs Stuck or the Stucklings while the clock strikes.

I remember once someone staying with jumping up from the sofa and diving out into the hall just to catch a glimpse of the cuckoo as the clock stuck. I think it took him until 11:00pm before he reached the clock in time :laugh:

Ken, I would say that you and the Stucklings are as much as risk here, as were Presidents Johnson and Nixon. Beware the poisson d'avril!

Assume you saw the link to the Lötscher video on that page ... :cheers:
