It was the first time I have had to change all the clocks on my own and we have quite a few, at least two were golf prizes so don't like to get rid of them. However, surprisingly I managed them all without a problem. (I have always done the cooker and microwave ones). The one I was most concerned about was the central heating as T always muttered while doing it. However, we had a new one in the past year and when I looked at it, it is a clever one that changes itself. all set again now for another year.

For half of the year my car clock is wrong by an hour but I still know what time of day it is. ;-)

I'm a whizz at changing the clocks because we have so many power cuts :-(

Another one last night which was an extremely short outage, but nevertheless it was long enough to send the clocks back to zero :-|

Hopefully we won't have to bother either after changing the clocks 2 weeks ago.

IF the US Congress in Washington DC has time to act on requests from California, Oregon & Washington State, and gives approval to their wishes, we will stay on Summer Time all year round.

Yukon decided not to change the clocks last Fall, so they've been out of synch with us all winter.

BC passed a bill to stay on DST 3 years ago, but our Premier wants to make the change in step with those south of the border.

Their rule change has to be approved in Congress, and they've been too busy over the last 2 years to deal with such a "minor" item".


My fight to change the clock is always with the TV, so we leave it alone!

The cooker clock is really easy, as is the one on the microwave.
