The Retirement Thread

Problem I have with the time change is that I have a DAB clock radio in the bedroom - it sets the time automatically

at some point

when it decides

so I wake up and it says 6:30 - so I assume it is 7:30
get downstairs and it turns out it is 5:30

That's too complicated for me.

I presume by "whatever" you mean the user guide??

am I the only person who always has every clock telling the right time??

Pedant. Why can't you be like the rest of the old farts here

Its beginning to look that way........😆

The only things I personally have that tell the time are my phone and tablet and they adjust themselves . Sorted

There's a user guide?

If you dial “ 123 “ from your land line telephone it will tell you the correct time, for the princely sum of ten shillings ( in real money) 😉

We have a DAB radio, with ours it adjusts the time as soon as you tune to a radio station, I think the clock is just a standby display which gets corrected when receiving a radio signal which contains time data.

We have a DAM/FM radio with a permanent LED clock which self adjusted overnight.

At the third stroke it will be:

Microwave 02:29
Oven 16:01
Kitchen clock 08:24
Central heating clock 08:23
Back room clock 08:19
Front room clock 08:29
DVD Player 00:00
Phone 07:25

Is it any wonder I get confused
