Nothing compared to the lady mentioned on the "Today" programme on Radio 4 yesterday morning, a clock collector with 3500 clocks; it only takes two days now, because she has had plenty of practice! :shock:

Counting TVs and VCRs, we have 57 to change, one made in 1903 can
not be turned backwards, it messes up the chimes, so we stop it and
wait!!

Hi Kimber

Can't you put in forwards by twenty three hours?

Every 15 minutes you move it forward, you have to wait for the chimes
to run their course before moving it again!! Stopping it and waiting
is the best way!! When the chimes run sown in the middle of the night
and it doesn't go BONG, I wake up!! Like living next to the train tracks!!
You get used to it!!

So do you wait for the full twenty three hours, or cheat and restart it at eleven? :think:

I'm still waiting for the atomic clock at Rugby to adjust my oh-so-amazing alarm clock. I've been watching all morning, hoping to witness the big event. :think:

Well my radio-controlled one showed the GMT time this morning - nice check to make sure I got the correct day to change the clocks.

And Kimber trains here in the UK don't go BONG

Our aquarium lights are all on wall socket timers. I use the same method for setting them back!

Hey Kimber, you gonna be awake at midnight on Monday night too!?
