That night Angie calls round to Jane and brings her down to a local bar for a celebration drink and, as they are sipping their Champagne, Angie turns to Jane and asks "Tell me Jane, How in God's name did you know that it was the Cuckoo that does not build its own nest?

Jane: "Listen Angie, everybody knows that a Cuckoo lives in a clock."
