which clock to go by?

[mollykins]

All of the clocks in my house are slightly different which should we go by?

Is the computer clock set by a satellite or when its made or something? So unless the thing that sets it brakes, that'll be the most accurate.

Put on the radio or the TV, molly, the time they are giving will be accurate.

[ummmm]

My computer clock changes randomly....

The best clock......BBC

Wouldn't it be easierj ust to set all your clocks to the correct time?

[ChuckFickens]

But where's the fun in that :)

[ummmm]

lol.....true.

Why does my clock keep changing Chuck? I was an hour behind yesterday....that's a lot of time in housework terms....

[ChuckFickens]

It's almost always because the little battery on the mainboard that keeps the time on the computer needs replacing ummmm

We have a radio controlled clock. It picks up the correct time from a radio transmitter somwhere and is always right. It even resets itself when the clocks go back or forward.

You can get them in all sorts of places, here is one from Tescos as an example

Chuck, not for sometime, sorry - it moved to Cumbria in 2007!

"Clocks on sale in the UK either receive their time signal over-the-air from Anthorn in Cumbria (MSF 60kHz), or from the DCF77 European transmitter in Mainflingen, Frankfurt, Germany.

Note that in 2007, the UK MSF signal moved from Rugby to Anthorn in Cumbria"

[ChuckFickens]

Damm it :)

Thanks for the correction LCDMAN.

[chas2008]

i have never quite understood with all the technology that goes into PCs everyone i have owned or used at work have never kept the correct time, they are always a few minutes out ...
I just log onto the GMT website, cant get more accurate than that

[redman41]

Did you remember to put your Clocks forward 1hr on March 28th mollykins or are you still on GMT in your part of the Country :-D

[4getmenot]
