Well, Its been a while since I could see this, but I remember one clock that
was as described here, but as I recall there was a couple of sentences in
the scrap of paper which doubled as a manual to the effect that if yu press
certain buttons and hold them for x seconds, it allows the ofset to be
changd. This of course was fine until the clocks changed the next time,
whereupon you had lost the bit of paper and could not remember what to push!

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
:-)

I'd be amazed if it's not possible to switch it to GMT. Lidl seem to
manage to sell electrical stuff with UK plugs on them. ;-)

Well yes, but I can't see anyway on this clock
