Can anyone explain why the AC clock is never right? I can just about understand it sometimes being an hour out, depending on BST, but why the minutes? They are gradually getting further and further out of sync. My computer currently tells me it's 11.01 but the AC website says it's 10.14. :?

By the way, did you write your post yesterday or tomorrow, rehab?
thewifie – Oh dear! Thanks to you I’ve now discovered all the different time zones I might be in. Can someone explain why Lord Howe has a Standard Time? I think those of us on cocos should opt for Cocos Islands Time. And why can we opt for Cymraeg or Francais Standard when we’re only allowed to write English?
I think I’ve dropped into the black hole. I shall, from now on, speak Francais and I’m on Niue Time.
By the way, AC’s still ¼ hour ahead of me.
I believe that you are in fact on Yorkshire time, aka Ecky thump time. The county is that wonderful it's out of sync with everywhere else, and if the other time zones were to attempt to sync with us there would be an implosion so great that even Ra wouldn't be able to stop it.
On a good note, everyone would speak proper, lol...

You could kind of understand it if it was slow rather than fast. That would be appropriate. Maybe it needs surgery.

The AC clock has baffled me for a while now, so I tend to ignore it - I have enough bafflement in my life.
a closet "sweaty" = sweaty sock = Jock = a Scotsman ;-)
My mate Mick used to make up his own rhyming slang - butter was 'president' after 'President Botha', (I know, I know, I'm sorry) but my favourite was 'desperate', viz Desperate Dan = a can (usually of lager). Even now Mr DD and me discuss the possibility of a curry and a few desperates. DD
Thank you to whoever 'mended' the AC clock. I don't know how long it's been right :oops: (well, one minute out according to my computer but we won't count that) but I've only just noticed it.
Much appreciated.
