Hello friends I hope you will fine everyone 💓
The text tells the fascinating story of Mrs. Greenwich, a woman who historically auctioned time for a fee in early 19th century London. At that time, many people didn't have watches or applications to tell the time, so they would pay her to know the hour. This unique profession had been passed down through her family for generations and lasted for over a century until watches became widely available in 1943. Greenwich is significant as the starting point for Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), which is the basis for global timekeeping, dividing the world into eastern and western time zones. The narrative highlights the transition from a time when people paid for time to the present, where it is often taken for granted. Mrs. Greenwich's story serves as a reminder of the value of time, emphasizing that it has always been a precious commodity, and encourages readers to appreciate it, as it is now often perceived as being free, yet remains invaluable.The text mentions "time quoted GMT" and "Gymtime GMTUK." It suggests a reference to schedules or times related to Gymtime in the UK under GMT (Greenwich Mean Time).
