are we ruled by clocks ... ?

[sunny-dave]

Just completed the bi-annual "sorting of the clocks".

Was bored enough to actually keep count ... 12 things needed re-setting manually (even the bl**dy microwave seems to need to know the time) and around 22 have adjusted themselves automatically (from internet, DAB, freeview, SKY, phone networks, atomic clock broadcasts).

... but you can guarantee that I've missed something/somewhere - the usual culprit is the central heating timer (which would have meant no hot water when needed tomorrow morning) but I've remembered that ... and the motorbike ... but I know there's a lurker, there always is.

[ummmm]

I don't have any clocks. Just the computer, my phone and the car.

I changed all mine at stupid o'clock this morning when I couldn't sleep.

Why does the motorbike need resetting Dave?? Is it on a timer?

[DTCwordfan]

what about the police ankle tag?

[sunny-dave]

Nope - but it has a clock on the speedo ... which I'm sad enough to want to be right ;()

[sunny-dave]

The tag is fine - I wrapped it in bacofoil a while ago ...

[DTCwordfan]

brown sauce in the foil helps avoid detection too....

I have reset all my clocks except for the car, that stays permanently on summer time. To reset it I have to put a pin into a small hole and each time I press it changes the clock by 1 second. Life is too short to push a pin in a hole 3600 times !

central heating timer... doh! I did everything else on auto pilot (half cut) not really remembering how to set things.

Sunny-dave you have in excess of 30 clocks/timers I think that kind of answers your question from a personal perspective, lol...

[humbersloop]

Our microwave's so old it has an abacus instead of a timer..

sunny dave is possibly Prince Philip - it takes nearly a day to change all the clocks at Windsor.

I've lost the will to live and have given up on the clocks

I came to check my 2 mobile phones. One has bizarrely reset itself to 2nd January 2008

Radio Amateurs ignore it as we all work in UTC which is same as GMT. Outside the shack you have to remember to adjust to the other world
