A new Lidl has recently in our local town - a bit of a novelty as the
nearest Aldlidls are about 20 miles away.
Anyway, popped in today for the first time when passing, to see if they
had any interesting things in their deals. I picked up a new radio
controlled clock as our old one died.
Thing is, it's it sets itself an hour fast. Instructions say it uses
the DCF77 signal from Mainflingen in Germany, which presumably is
giving time in CET (GMT+1). Now I don't really know how the system
works, but the clocks obviously don't know where in the world they are
so presumably are set to pickup a specific signal.
I have a radio controlled watch, but on that I can set the time zone)
So are Lidl are selling a load of clocks which will set themselves
wrong :-)
It would be right if our ****wit government hadn't put the clocks back
to give us even less light in an already dark winter.
The sun rises and sets as it wishes, and government regulations change
the amount of light not a single microsecond.
The government changes what time of day it's light. Obviously in winter we have lots of dark in the evenings, which is wrong. Clearly it's better to have it dark for an hour early in the morning (all you're doing is driving to work) and have an extra hour of light in the evening when you get home and can enjoy it. If you consider the times of day that most people are awake, it's out of synch with the time that it's light.
(Which is just another way of saying Phucker is a ****wit.)
Thought you killfiled me, liar.
