I asked my brother to change the clock in the Ford Explorer (2005) and it took him forty minutes, really. That why I don't mess with time as I'm a complete ludite.

Re: Darned Screwy Time (DST)
Nature couldn't give a flying biscuit when it comes to us measuring time. Well, except where we drag nature into the artifice. I recall a farmer's complaint about DST to the effect that it confuses the cows. Seriously? Who says you can't milk them an hour "later" for the duration? Some people's kids...

Re: Darned Screwy Time (DST)
That's the other thing, it's not even standard. I should be able to look up a place and timezone and know better than +/- 3 hours of what time it is. Last time the government switched the time, the auto update on my computer was such that it didn't recognise the new change and issued the old changes. Ended up with several changes that were not correct.benhall.1 wrote:It's another couple of weeks before we change our time.
