Am I the only one who is confused by this? Instead of going back an hour it's gone forwards by half an hour. Some of us barely scraped through O-level maths, you know.

    Hi stickywicket :D

    So sorry about the AC clock :roll: it's beyond my limited abilities to fix it I'm afraid :| ... but... I have already contacted our webmanager to let her know about the racing clock; hopefully it'll be adjusted soon.

    I agree it is very confusing!

    I'm confused, I'm using my PS Vita, which hasn't changed its time, and I haven't got round to it yet. So I've got two different times, neither of which are correct :?

    Thanks, ModeratorIA. Much appreciated.

    Numpty, for heaven's sake please don't confuse me any more than I already am :roll: :lol:

    This is still the best on-line clock I've found.

    It's always the right time and never fails to make me smile. :D

    PRETTY PLEASE?

    I don’t actually use it to tell the time but it’s a useful device nonetheless eg if someone has posted in the middle of the night I conclude they’re not sleeping well. Currently I am apparently posting when I’m actually in the Land of Nod. I’m easily confused :?

    It is gloriously eccentric in its habits - I for one am rarther fond of it. I am posting this at 11.25 according to my netbook. Let's see . . . . .

    No. You & DD are both on the same planet - it's the AC clock that disappears into the 4th dimension every so often. The amount by which it's out varies from 1/2 hour to an hour and 1/2, I think. It changes during the day - Gawd knows when - and changes back again when no-one's looking.

    I've discovered that when I log out the AC clock gains an hour, so if someone has posted at 16.00 we know it was actually 15.30 but when you log out they posted at 17.00. Curiouser and curiouser, said Alice. (Leastways I hope it was her who said it!) DD

    It was Alice.

    I think we're heading for the realms of the Mad Hatter: "Why, this watch is exactly two days slow."
