That’s right you’ve time travelled in the most futile way, and all because some dude wanted to fit in a round of golf or something, but how will you know if you don’t rewind your clocks? Please feel free to use this thread to exhaustively detail each and every clock you have had to manually change. Take photos of the clocks you change. You could go so far as to detail the technique you used to change the clock, if that’s something you’d like to do.

Not typing this out again
I might take a picture of the cat clock we got from Stevenson Square fucking ages ago.

Thanks to your post in the daily thread, I’ve already adjusted the dial on the boiler, which is something I usually forget to do. Think I’ll leave the actual clocks until tomorrow though.

Oh? What’s that? You didn’t think I could make you answer the same poll twice? Think twice yourself, and have fun.
How many clocks you gonna have to manually twist an extra hour into?
- 1
- 2 clocks
- 3 time pieces
- 4 including watches
- 5 is a lot of clocks, why you got 5 old clocks kicking around? Can I have one
- 6 clocks, a microwave which is effectively a clock, does the thermostat do it automatically, I can’t remember
- Oh lord, my circadian rhythms are gonna take weeks to recover.

Just the one to change, but really 0 because Her Indoors already did it. It’s the cats’ feeder. They always go ballistic for a few days because they don’t get what daylight savings is and are angery that their food just changed times without them being consulted. Not looking forward to it.

Some years ago, I went on holiday with some friends around this time of year to Macedonia and then Bulgaria. We went an hour forward arriving in Macedonia, then another hour forward in Bulgaria. Then an hour back the day after we arrived in Bulgaria due to their clocks changing. Then a further hour back (or was it two?) travelling back to the UK the following day.
That was all quite disorientating.

I think you just need to change the clock forward, because by the time I’ve worked out any of that’s I’m going to need the extra hour(s)

To be honest, it’s giving me a headache just thinking about it

Now I come to think of it that whole holiday was a triumph of poor planning. My mate who had - in the loosest description - organised it was convinced there was a train service between Skopje and Sofia. When we arrived at the train station in Skopje it turned out there is no train line between Macedonia and Bulgaria. There was, however, a bus service, which took several hours and the border crossing was on the top of a mountain range at which point it was snowing.
We were dropped off in the outskirts of Sofia but managed to find a taxi to take us into the centre. It was a tiny car, half of the back seat of which was taken up with a radiator (like the kind you get in a house) which kept falling on top of me whenever we turned right.
As you may have guessed by now, we had no accommodation organised in Sofia. After looking at a hostel, which was so bad even we turned it down, we happened to walk past a 5 star hotel. My other mate decided to pop in to ask the receptionist if they could recommend anywhere for us to stay. Whether it was his gift of the gab or the receptionist felt sorry for us I don’t know, but we ended up staying there for about €50 each in a suite that had a bigger floor plan than my entire house.

Clocks manually changed…
Kitchen clock
Oven clock
Still to do…
Daughters “gro clock”
Car clock
Thermostat
Just the 2 for me, cooker and car. Both is such a faff though.
Got to manually change
The oven (not sure how to do this one, may just leave it)
The car (whenever I get in it next)
A clock on our windowsill that my FiL restored and gave to us to clutter up the house some more (easy, literally just moving the hands)
Kitchen clock, alarm clock, heating clock, watch and car clock which as tradition dictates must be changed hurriedly when waiting at a set of traffic lights.
Had to manually adjust the dog’s clock by simply ignoring him until he went back to sleep when he wanted to get up at 6.30.
Oven clock also done.
