His job is over, as an automatic electric winder system is now being installed. Mr. Cripps, of Avondale Square, Camberwell, reckons he has climbed in all 2, 250, 000 steps for his daily ritual. The clock will be going again on Thursday. Mr. Cripps said: I'll miss it. It has character - and it has been my life
