At least there aren't so many clocks for me to change these days. It used to be such a chore. My battery clock changes automatically, and so does the digital radio. No phoning up the speaking clock anymore.
Also don't forget the government campaign to get us to check our smoke alarms too when putting the clocks forward and, I suppose carbon monoxide alarms too and any other kind of alarms (wine too much tonite)
Some of my clocks are radio-controlled so will put themselves right, some are not, so I will either be on time or late tomorrow, depending which I look at.
Full of admiration for you shysal - how the hell do you change the time on the car clock ? The instructions are gobble de gook to me so my car clock will be wrong until October unless some bright spark comes along and in a couple of seconds puts it right. But hey ho ! I am very capable of adding ''1'' to what ever time it says. It did get a bit confusing though when it was 10 mins slow and I had to add 10 mins and subtract 1 hour.
Thankyou phoenix I'd completely forgotten about it!
Glad you subscribe to my method of time keeping tiggypiro I think my car clock has to have something pointy stuck in a tiny hole on the front of it - but it all requires organisation so probably won't happen!
I hate this daylight saving malarkey. It completely throws me and I feel as if I am slightly jetlagged for a few days until my poor body clock catches up with clocks everywhere else!
When told the reason for daylight savings time the Old Indian said, "Only the government would believe that you could cut a foot off the top of a blanket, sew it to the bottom, and have a longer blanket."
Ours don't change until next weekend so we are currently twelve hours ahead of the UK and will be 13 hours ahead throughout the UK spring/summer. I have to time my visits to Gransnet quite carefully – otherwise I end up talking to myself (as opposed to MiceElf).
I hate all this time changing. It always knocks my body clock out for a few days. I slept in this morning as it was an hour later than I thought and now I am not tired but need to go to sleep to get up for work in the morning.
I love the clocks going forward and look forward to lighter evenings. If only we could have double summer time. Maybe if Scotland becomes independent we will be able to choose the in the south.
