Electric oven hasn’t worked since power cut last week. Any suggestions?

Another vote for "set the clock". 
Also, I vote for "all clocks in household devices must by law set themselves automatically and adjust themselves for BST". I hate setting and adjust clocks and having to keep them in sync.

I guess this requirement for ovens is so they don't start heating up when power is restored after a power-cut to avoid an unsafe situation

I hadn't actually though of that but yes that makes perfect sense.

I find the easiest solution is just to adhere to the timezone of the room you are in.

That could be interesting!
