(I dare not check if I actually did blog the same complaints every six months, regular as clockwork...) Anyway moving it to another room (and near a window) has been the way to deal with it - until now. This time I tried every room in the flat without result, so decided I (or it, or both of us) had had enough! :)DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533307672147117843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-91980716537892478252015-04-02T07:29:15.981+02:002015-04-02T07:29:15.981+02:00I have only one clock that needs changing manually...I have only one clock that needs changing manually, and that's the one in the living room. The small radio clock on my bedside table, the radio one in the kitchen, my computer, my TV satellite receiver and my mobile phone do it all without me, and they do it well :-)<br />Last weekend while ironing, I listened to an interesting BBC Radio 4 programme about time and how our concept of it has changed with being able to measure it more and more precisely over the centuries, and with the industrial revolution, and also how the idea of "daylight saving" was first introduced and what it actually does (or does not). The programme was narrated by Stephen Fry and I have just tried in vain to find the podcast for you on the website. Maybe you have better luck (if you are interested at all).Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-23731329774124511712015-04-02T01:17:12.198+02:002015-04-02T01:17:12.198+02:00I think the time change is a huge bother and it wo...I think the time change is a huge bother and it would not hurt my feelings one bit if they totally abandoned it.

However when I read the instructions it said that if it was on an inside wall try putting it near a window overnight. I did at the time and it worked. The replacement clock works fine. I have a bit of déjà vu over this conversation.

No use keeping a clock that does not work right. Will you keep it? A couple weeks ago, we started Daylight Savings Time.
