I ordered a new clock for the dining room. I knew it was a radio controlled clock and it was a bit more expensive than I had paid before but not really what that meant. When we put the battery in (my neighbour John was helping me) the hands went around to 12 o’clock and there they remained. The leaflet said they would set themselves overnight. Well they didn’t so 5 in the morning I moved the clock nearer the window for a short while – still nothing – so I put it down on the dining table. When I came back 10 minutes later it was working so I don’t know if the clock will correct itself when the clocks go back or forward in the place I have put it. Perhaps when the time comes I should place it on the dining table!
