I have ten clocks around the house not so bad when you have to put them forward. When they go back time stands still for an hour ???

[amanda21]

Actually more and more I find some re-set themselves - we have an alarm clock that does that which is great and the computer does it now I've just noticed.  The video clock is never set because we can't figure out how to record(!) so that just leaves the lounge, kitchen, oven, microwave, numerous phones and watches, the cars, daughters' radio alarms......... :o

[lorna]

Yipee. Only three for me. One in lounge, one watch,one radioalarm, oh mustn't forget the TV.. My Ma-in-law couldn't stand a clock ticking, we would often hunt for the clock, sometimes stuffed in the middle of a pile of ironing. It was a guessing game and she would forget where she put the da*n thing ;D

Five. The kids sort themselves out, and the computer resets itself. I catch up on the strays later.

[Curryandchips]

I think I set five ... two normal clocks, the alarm, the central heating, and my watch. My watch is actually a dual display, analogue/digital, so the digital stays on BST, as does the car clock ... I believe the video takes its signal off teletext, so resets ... I don't with my mobile phone either.

Conveniently the grandfather clock stopped about midnight, so we'll wind it up again later today. I've adjusted 7 clockes. watches so far. Always manage to miss a few. ;D

We had eight, including our wrist watches.  All done now as well as the chiming clock in the hall, which is the awkward one.  :) busy_lizzie

Four. Mob phone, the one my Mum gave me, the radio/alarm and the kitchen clock. NONE of them tick...can't stand it, feels like i can hear my life ticking away!!!!!

;D

[lorna]

Rosebud. Glad window was open ;D ;D . I can't go to sleep if a tap is dripping or if I have had my shower just before going to bed the flipping thing in the ceiling (to clear condensation) keeps whirring away. Drives me mad, oh for those youthful days when nothing worried us ;D ;D

Just my mobile-which I was surprised didn't settle itself, and my alarm clock, which as I also cannot abide the hint of a tick, is out on the landing window cill.

As a novelty, I let OH do her alarm clock and living room clock as she is from a country that does not change the clocks either in spring or autumn.


Ha, I'm always reminded of the time about 15 years ago(sharp intake of breath) I lived in San Francisco, and this Mexican/American expressed surprise that everything was out of kilter this fine Sunday morning.(he was in his 50's). I explained that all the clocks change across the US, all over the world, incl the southern hemisphere to prepare for winter etc.  He reply, which I shall cherish for ever, was ...

ahem...we forgot until we were out and about listening to the radio....then the penny dropped!  ::)

[Hyacinth]

I've done some, but some I'm not going to bother with, and some I'll leave until I really need them. I've re-set: 3 watches, CH timer, TEASMAID (praps the most important clock in this rip-van-winkle house ::)), clock/radio, so far 6 clocks, CELLPHONE (my watch when I'm working=most important), car clock...not had to set PC and video recorder.......can't be bothered to set clocks on 2 music centres cos I never look at them, shan't set 2 Walkman-type contraptions til I need them in the garden in the summer.

LOVE ticking clocks & my pendulum wall-mounted clock is angled so that the pendulum hits the casing..........before I had it I bought a metronome ;D ;D which constantly 'ticked' away....

My lad - and I sometimes wonder if I was given the right child at birth.....well, it happens, doesn't it?......can't stand ANY ticking and reckons that even the digital clock by the spare bed is TOO LOUD  ???

NOT HAD TO RE-SET.....a sittingroom clock which is always set for Summer Time ;D ;D ;D

[Amazin]

I love the sound of a gently ticking clock -  except the one by the bed. It clashes with my heart valve and I find myself trying to synchronise them.

;D

Imagine if the clock were battery operated and................. ;D ;D

Um. Suspect a lot of you couldn't stand my house! I love ticking clocks (but not chiming ones!)

Have two ticking wallclocks in the lounge at opposite ends, one in the kitchen, one in the bathroom and one where I'm sitting now typing. Two wristwatches. Of the non-tickers, the central heating, the video, microwave and cooker.

Car not yet done as I've not been out today and it's hiding in its garage.

The one in this room I love - found it in a jeweller in Austria when I went skiing for the first time, and just had to get it! It's blue and black, looks like it's been designed by the folk who made the film Tron, has stylised mountains and a grid, two searchlights and a starfield.  Good clock for a science fiction addict :)

Hang on... what's the point of digital cameras if...
