No, as far as I know all clocks run forwards, but the physical direction is
hard to remember in this day of digital watches. Old Farts Syndrome
probably has a lot to do with it as well (hey, I'm qualified to abuse that
excuse now). All appologies rendered, do make a note to rotate the dizzy
body anitclockwise to retard the timing, not clockwise as per my most
recent misstatement (but not the last for sure).
