Anselmo and J.B. works for a travel agency. There they organize trips for several groups and organizations. Last weekend J.B. organized a special trip for a group of old folk. The trip was a success and Anselmo decided to pop in it to thank J.B. for what he had done.

| Everything went like clockwork !!! | ||||||||
| Anselmo | I've just popped in to thank you very much for organizing last weekend's trip to the seaside for the old folk. | |||||||
| J.B. | That's very kind of you Anselmo. Thanks a lot! They all seemed to enjoy it. | |||||||
| Anselmo | They certainly did. Everything went like clockwork, in fact I don't think you could have done it better. | |||||||
| J.B. | I'm not sure about that, there were one or two things that could have been improved. | |||||||
| Anselmo | In a perfect world perhaps, but as far as I'm concerned it was a great success. So thank you again. | |||||||
| Explanation : | |||
| If you say that something happens like clockwork you mean that it happens without any problems or delays, or happens regularly. | |||
