You’re not going to believe how many
clocks I have to adjust when daylight saving changes have to be made.
1 Bathroom
2 Bedroom (radio alarm & portable alarm)
2 Cell phones
2 Cameras
2 Cars
3 House phones
2 Office (two rooms are used as offices)
3 Watches
4 Kitchen (microwave/cooker/central
heating/wall clock)
2 Lounge (timed heater
& clock)
2 Laundry area (wall clock & timed radio)
That’s a total of 25 ... and we only
live in a small bungalow.
Thankfully computers and videos reset
automatically.
Isn’t that enough to put you off? Is
this the reason I hate adjusting clocks or is it because I think it’s all a
waste of time and effort? It might have been okay when the idea was first
formulated, to help the farmers I believe, but is there any need to continue?
Husbands are a different matter. If
I point out that the clock in Joe’s car hasn’t been changed to the new time he
professes to not knowing how to alter it ... and would be quite happy for me to
do it for him. If I leave it long enough the excuse changes to ‘why bother, it will be right again in six
months’. True, but only a man could live like that!
I didn’t realise this clock-changing
headache was a worldwide thing until I read this article by Mike Pound. Do read
it, it’s hilarious.
