Clock woes - it's like this.

The clock is set up to AUTOMATICALLY spring forward or fall back at what USED to be the dates for that change. It will probably do its job faithfully when those dates roll around.

However.

We have ALREADY changed to the spring-forward an hour ahead. I had to set that manually. But the clock lives in blissful ignorance of this, and at teh prescribed time in April when the DST changeover USED to be it is likely to spring forward automatically - ANOTHER hour forward - a change which I will have to manually shift back now because I've already done the forward-turning manually, this morning.

Reverse for fall - it will fall back two or three weeks early, according to the current set up, because THAT date has been changed too. So I'll have to adjust for the automatic change which is now no longer accurate, and when teh fall-back day DOES roll around i'll have to adjust manually again to compensate.

Blankety-blank DST.
