Or maybe it's one of those modern contraptions that adjusts the time itself(something to do with satelittes & the like).!

Every year I set my clocks back late in the afternoon to get myself used to the time change and my husband never notices. But he did this year and asked me to change them back until midnight and when I refused he just walked away mumbling to himself. :D Early Sunday morning he thought it would be cute to set all the clocks in the house to a different time. Truly, I had no idea what time it was :shock: Ah, then I went out to my car and turned on the digital clock which he missed...

I could comment .......but being a mere male, I won't :lol:

It does add a bit of piquancy (where is spell check when you need it :evil: )
to your surname Marilyn.

Hello Marilyn,


I have never met your husband but I like him already! The ghost of Victor Meldrew (One Foot in the Grave - British TV) lives on.


Regards,

John

So....given that I have had mine set at GMT - 12 hours and this NOW makes my time one hour ahead of what it should be, what do I click to make it correct? I have had a lot of tries, and have given up. (We turned our clocks forward down here in australia).
