    My phone, my husband's phone, tablets and laptops all show a slightly different time. How do I know which one is right? How about the one on the TV guide? That seems the most likely. What do you think? Things were much easier in the days of TIM.
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    Our various gadgets are like that with slightly different times. I don't much care as long as they're within 5 minutes or so of each other. My work computer is the one I use for meeting times because it picks it up from the server so every one in the company is supposedly on the same time.

    My clocks and other 'things' are frequently at different times @B3. I'm past caring  ;)
    There must have been ice or frost here this morning, as the low on the thermometer was showing as 1 degree, which means it went from dry most of yesterday with strong gale force winds, to the rain at night, and then a sudden drop. If it had been a degree or two lower at about 9am, those black clouds would have been sleet or snow rather than rain. 
    I'm certainly not convinced it's anywhere near spring, even if that daft alpina clematis in the corner by the gate thinks it might be... :D
    Most of us knew what you meant @philippasmith2 :)

    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    @Hostafan1   The thing is, God didn't write the Bible.  Man did.
    A good hoeing is worth two waterings.

    I don't care much about time either, I'm always about 30 mins early for anything, it's a curse really. My husband was the opposite, he was even late for our wedding. I got my own back, I made sure he was late for his funeral  :) Ten mins to be exact.

    The TV in our bedroom shows the time and programme being watched when previously switched off which can be confusing if you are only half awake.  Change to a different channel and it corrects itself.  The clock in my car changes automatically when the clocks change, but will randomly display the time one hour out when starting up.  Again, corrects automatically after a short time.  My wife's bedside alarm runs fast despite the fact that it picks the time up from some satellite or radio transmission.  I haven't worked that one out yet.  Even if I unplug it and switch it back on it will show the correct time and then 'correct' itself to the time it was showing previously.  Ain't technology great?
