(I’ll add that my kitchen clock never gets put back - it stays as it is all year round because I cant be bothered to get a step ladder out and change it.)

I once laughed at some work friends who turned up an hour late after the clocks went forward. Only I had a power cut when at work that day. I put the clocks right afterwards and turned up an hour late for work the following day. I had righted them via the only timer in the house that I hadn't adjusted.

Means you've got to get up for 0830 to watch England lose to India tomorrow morning rather than 0930.

Oven clocks don’t get set because we get so many power cuts they only stay set for a week or so.

The guide doesn't cover Grand Father clocks

My clock isn't keen on having the hands moved - so I have to adjust it by removing the pendulum so it ticks faster (if it's slow - or putting the clock forward), or by simply stopping it. I shall do the latter tomorrow.

Trouble is - I often forget to start it again at the right time, so either have to play catch up - or wait 12/24 hours.....

I don’t like moving the hands on my watch back and can’t be bothered to wind it 23 hours forward, so I just pulled the winder out to stop it and came back to it later. I next looked at it EXACTLY an hour later, so just popped the winder back with no other adjustment. Spooky.
