GL Segundo a min me parece, a cuestión que máis interese reviste en relación co reloxo machucado é o lugar no que foi atopado: un dos petos do pixama de Ratchett, un lugar dende logo incómodo e pouco frecuente para leva-lo reloxo, sobre todo se temos en conta que na cabeceira da cama hai un gancho para deixalo pendurado durante a noite.
