Today I learned that the expression ‘keep your eye on the ball’ comes from this red ball at the Greenwich Royal Observatory. It’ raised just before one, and when it came down exactly at 1pm mariners on the Thames could set their watches by it. Dates from the 18th century I was told. Never knew that!
