Washington, Oct 25 : Even Hollywood stars do not have it all easy, as seen from the revelation on how some clubs are very choosy about the kind of people they let in.

The task will take Pauline West and her husband Roy at least two days as they unwind a collection covering pretty much every nook and corner of their two-bedroom flat.
“It’s a big job — all the clocks have to tell exactly the same time. But I’ve had plenty of practice and I’m a lot quicker than I used to be,” The Sun quoted West, as saying.
West, 57, and Roy, 64, who have been picking up clocks since ages and began buying them for a mere 50p, have run out of place to accommodate the clocks.
