I think Lidl have cocked up :-)

Sounds like it.

Does the clock start at 12, 4, or 8? Could be the hands were put on
wrong...?


They start at 12.

However, perusing the Lidl service site, I found the same looking
clock sold previously under a different model number.

It says for UK the hands should go to 11 (and for a couple of other
countries to 1, presumably as they are an hour ahead)

looks like my clock should have stayed on the mainland :-)


So even if you set the time manually, soon enough the clock will adjust
itself to German time?


Yup.


That would mean every clock sold is unsuitable for use in the UK.


Yup, they have cocked up.
