In a different time zone once (Malta) I woke at 4.20, went off in search of coffee and nearly got clubbed by a night porter with a baseball bat  scared2:

Quote from: Maltese Porter
It certainly wasn't funny. Imagine doing a security check in the middle of the night and suddenly being confronted by some deranged ginger pensioner wearing an old dressing gown and a ratty pair of Y fronts. I didn't know if he wasn't some pervert so I grabbed my baseball bat.


I still have nightmares about that sight  scared2:

So we are all primed for the bi-annual race.  Can we get all clocks, watches etc set to BST before the highly expensive radio powered kitchen clock finally decides it'll get round to it (can take a day or two)

We've never won yet

Not so much to do in t' new place...  cloud9:

Did you do a page on how to reset them all in your guide for the tenants; and placed post-its on each one for ease of identification  ;)

Bastards aren't they.

I am making a list
- her and my watches
- clock on photoframe in lounge
- clock on photoframe in dining room
- clock in front of TV
- clock on weather station 1
- clock underneath the weather station
- clock on the time/tide/moon triple clock
- the other clock in her 4x4 that doesn't link to GPS time
- the clock on my Merc Nutter that may or may not
- clock on the Tom Tom in her car (yes it should auto adjust but it don't)
- clock on the Tom Tom in my car (ditto)
- clock on the answering machine
- my main alarm clock
- her main alarm clock
- my just in case battery alarm clock
- her just in case battery alarm clock
- clock in the main guest room
- clock on the cooker
- clock on the microwave
- the cuckoo clock
- the outside clock

And probably others  Banghead


OMG  eeek: eeek: eeek:

That is proper nuts !!!

No one had ever better buy me a photo frame with a clock on it  noooo:

Too many clocks equates to confusion - I hope they all have the same time displayed.

My stepdad used to collect clocks and there were loads of the noisy things. All set to different variations of the real time so that you could hear the quarter , half hour and hourly chimes, dings and dongs!!!!

Used to drive me insane. All had to be set to silent for when I visited  lol:

Not too bad here.

Phone automatically done

Fitbit automatically done  lol:

Living room and oven clock are all that needs adjusting.

Microwave is only turned on when in use to avoid the annoying clock situation. :thumbsup:

Microwave is likely to not get set

Only use the clocks on the photo frames as they turn on and off and predetermined time

But have remembered two more clocks

- Shower radio clock
- Timer for the pond lights

Radio signal from Frankfurt still hasn't got through to the German made radio controlled kitchen clock.  Don't ever buy a WMF radio controlled clock
Well, whatever, nevermind
