Someone I worked with didn't even bother to change his digital watch let alone the car clock. I do change ours though. I wear varifocals Dove for exactly the reason you give. They are expensive though.
Today is the day when I face one of the hardest jobs of the year: working out how to adjust the car clock.
On mine it's dead easy. Do nothing as it changes automatically. On my wife's car we tend just to leave it alone because the button you have to press is so stiff it leaves a dent in the end of your finger for days.
I've been in the car so rarely in the last couple of years that I can't even remember, but I know I had to look at info online for something, so it might not even have been the clock! The people who design these things really want their ar*ses felt, as we say here. It should be a totally simple process, like it is on any clock on a cooker, or anything else.
My daughter fiddled around with the menu last year so that I could switch off all the bl**dy noises and pointless flashing lights to warn you of things you should see, and be aware of, anyway. I should have put that on the notes for the service. They'll probably reset everything....

Not so sure about that, I changed the clock on my new oven when I first got it about 6 months ago and I thought it was relatively easy. That was until we had a power cut and the 'thing' reset itself, now I can't set it again despite using the likes of Google. But totally agree with you about product designers...
@Jenny_Aster, to alter my cooker clock, I turn the cooker off at the main switch, wait a few seconds, turn it back on - it should flash '12.00', press the + knob until it gets to the current time . If that's too far, just press the minus knob to adjust. Wait a few seconds and it should stop flashing. That's it. My cooker is an AEG. Hope that helps but I suspect every cooker is different.
I have to say that my Fiesta's clock is dead simple, I just have to keep pressing one button until I've got the right time. We were both amazed!
Must have been something else I was looking for re the car, as the clock is at the right time. Hurrah! It was probably that stupid 'someone's overtaking light' I was trying to get rid of. Utterly pointless, especially when it kept malfunctioning and coming on when you went round corners.... Standard fare here for late March @pansyface. Snow/sleet/frost etc. What isn't normal is the dry fortnight we've had -apart from a short spell of rain the other night. The frosts and sun have been lovely over the last ten days. I suppose that's how we get the averages though. There has to be some warm dry days to counteract the usual March weather.
