On Mon, 21 Dec 2015 12:06:36 +0000, Chris French I also have a Lidl RC
clock that gets it's time signal from Frankfurt. It's an Auriol IAN
100706. Big flat round face, two rectangular windows, wall-hanging,
displays time, day, date, week no., temperature and moon phase. Yours may
be different. Somewhere in the instructions or set-up routine there's an
option to set the time zone. Just found whe page 9. As they say, when
all else fails, read the instructions. :-)


There are hundreds of these being sold from today - and they're all wrong
by an hour. The intructions for this clock make no mention of any means
of adjusting it by an hour, and Lidl themselves say they're getting loads
of complaints - but have no answer beyond a refund.

They're either very stupid or just assume their customers are stupid
enough to put up with defective clocks.


Or someone ****ed up on what got shipped to the UK to be sold there.
