Although - maybe this isn't good enough as don't clocks take a few seconds to appear on the internet?

I'm just off now folks, to calibrate it with my bedside clock. The time spent on dealing with the time eh:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::o, surely something better? Life's sadly too short!

3 seconds I was reliably informed today :rotfl:

It's about 11.25. Though I'm sure that's a few seconds out:p:p. Sorry for the disruption to service folks and the lack of my usual accuracy.

And no, I'm not going to ring a hideously expensive 'speaking clock' for any info. Assuming even such a thing exists these days?

Was there not the story a few years ago of the MoD and apparently how lots of its employees rang the speaking clock?!?:think::eek::eek:

If I am using a coaster or a beermat, I have to make sure my cup or glass is dead centre

My hall lights have upstairs and downstairs switches. Downstairs always have to point down, upstairs have to point up. Even if it means me running back downstairs, switching off and going back up in the dark

We all have our little quirks

Another one here who has to have them dead centre.

In fact everything has to be dead centre if it has a centre.

My light switches don't bother me as I wouldn't be able to run up or down in the dark. :eek:

But all my sauce and oil bottles have to face the same way and be in height order. Everyone likes to play games with me and move them around.

Well, da da... (drumroll)... timeanddate.com's clock is about three and a half seconds behind my (now inaccurate) one. Which seems about right though, doesn't it, as woefully inaccurate quartz clock backups usually run fast by about a second a day?:think: I'm running my clock too fast folks - need to slow down.

HeeeHeee I'm giggling. Ive had this conversation already today :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
Funny

So - how do timeanddate.com get their clock accurate without an NPL time signal being broadcast?

Ha, ha, here's their address from their contact page:

Time and Date AS
PO Box 27 Forus
NO-4064 Stavanger
Norway [my emphasis]

There we are - I have trust in their accuracy, coming from another clock source!!:T:T

They do run about a second too soon. I used to change my watch every day (sometimes more than once a day) in the school playground:o:o:o. Forever trying to pause it slightly and keep it on track. Never managed to own a radio-controlled watch, as those pieces of equipment usually have difficulty picking up time signals? And always hideously expensive anyway, so kept with old-style watch:money:. I don't have a watch or don't wear one much at all these days, as able to rely on (probably inaccurate:rotfl:) public clocks!:)
