Who forgot to put their clocks forward last night?

I didn't, honest. I meant to get up that late. :lol:

Only joking, but when I went to Tesco this morning there were more trollies in the racks than usual.

    Looks like the people running thiswebsite haven't changed theirs yet going on the timestamps for the posts on the forum.

    I had one of them red bikes but I don't any more. Sad face.

    The central heating, my mobile phone and kitchen clock didn't need adjusting as I hadn't bothered to change them last October anyway ( :oops: ). But I'm so used to them being an hour fast I'll probably be late for everything now! :?

    Same with our cooker! Most complicated thing I've ever seen :oops:

    I thought all mobiles altered themselves... How old is your phone, Boo? :wink:

    Haha I changed all the clocks and managed to put half of them forward and for some strange reason the other half back an hour :oops: :shock: Thankfully I did it right for my alarm clock and got up in time for my TT.

    On his a little bit unfunny show on Friday night, Jason Manford came up with a good idea. Why don't we all just put them half an hour forward and leave them like that for ever...?

    It's set to update itself but it never does. It's a Nokia something on O2 - only about 12 months old.

    You don't have much luck with kitchen gadgets do you? Or is that intentional? :wink:

    Did everything manually before 1am. Dont mess with cooker clocks though, stayed at my GF's whose cooker clock was hours out October last Year, so I corrected it. Only to have the cooker alarm timer thingy (which I didnt touch) go off at about midnight.

    Cooker - wouldn't bother I haven't since it was put in four years ago.
    No tell the the truth - go on then - I tried once every combination of buttons and apart from putting the automatic timer on at 1230 degrees nothing changed.
    So I just adjusted the egg timer and use that now.

    I hate cooker clocks, I also had the alarm going off on the only time I set it correctly and then there was a power cut and it was back to normal. The whole setting procedure is overly complicated and switching off the alarm involves pressing multiple buttons randomly :x Plus I've never set the cooker to automatically start or stop in any case so don't know why it even needs a clock!

    I once set the mobile to automatically set the time then wondered why a reminder had not worked. Checking revealed that it had the right time but was a day out. I do it manually now (and it loses a lot of time).

    Done the auto update on my phone and it worked no problem, on my Dad's phone it didn't. Microwave, PVR and 2 clock radios had to be done when I got home.
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    Did it when I got up Sunday morning. Microwave is never on, swiotched off at the mains unless it's needed. Oven has no clock. PC auto sets itself, so only had to do the clock in the living room and one in the kitchen.
