If they sync themselves with the atommic signal then you should have no problem.
If they automatically went back 1 hour on 28 October at the end of British Summer Time then they will display 29 February. If not, it will depend whether they 'know' it's 2008.
They should work perfectly fine.

thanks for all your replies ........................my weather station bedroom clock and wristwatch all set to 29th february.......
It's tomorrow when they go to 30th February, you need to woory! ;-)
worry*
They are fascinating things, make a point of staying up until 2am when the clocks go forward and again when they go back. Even though you are expecting something to happen, it's eerie to see it !
