You should tell your dad, that if he leaves the clocks for six months they won't need changing back :-)
I've done that before with my cycle computer one ... always had to remember to take off/add on an extra hour - and I keep forgetting I had done it and so think I was extra late.

As for this morning ... I woke Mr Summerdays up an hour early - because I looked at the time on something that had automatically changed and assumed it hadn't so that the real time was actually an hour ahead of that:blush: . He has forgiven me, and brought me a coffee in bed so that I can slowly get my head around what time it is!!!:wacko:

My brother-in-law works on that principle, but only for 50% of his clocks. On top of that, he has his favourite clock set fast so he isn't late for buses, and he never corrects the others so they gradually become faster or slower. In one room, I can see about 5 clocks showing times spread over about 75 minutes and the only one that I can trust is the display on his digibox! :wacko:

On top of which, neither he nor my sister know how to set the alarms on their various clocks so they have a 'getting up at 06:30' clock, a 'getting up at 08:00' clock, and so on. One of them always goes off at midnight. I asked why, and b-i-l said that it was to remind him to watch a TV programme in 2004 but he's lost the instructions and doesn't know how to turn it off! :laugh:

Well I got up at 6:30am (which was 5:30am as far as my body was concerned) to ride 30 miles before the Grand Prix. Reasonably light but I'm glad I opted to stick the lights on and wear high-vis because it was foggy as anything in Northumberland.

My goodness me, I thought I was hardcore enough by getting up for the GP having got in from a gig at 3am (new time). A 30 mile ride before it started though? Legend.
