| Mary | I've just popped in to thank you very much for organizing last weekend's trip to the seaside for the old folk. |
| Julia | That's very kind of you. They all seemed to enjoy it. |
| Mary | They certainly did. Everything went like clockwork, in fact I don't think you could have done it better. |
| Julia | I'm not sure about that, there were one or two things that could have been improved. |
| Mary | 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. |
| Example : He reorganized Standard Brands twice a year, like clockwork. |
