A new Lidl has recently in our local town - a bit of a novelty as the

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
:-)

NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY LIDL CLOCK UNTIL I CHANGED THE BATTERIES AND
NOW IT JUMPS AN HOUR BUT THERE MUST BE A WAY TO STOP IT BECAUSE ITS NOT
THE FIRST TIME I HAVE CHANGED THE BATTERIES


HAVE YOU TRIED SETTING THE CORRECT TIMEZONE?


Have you tried typing like a normal person rather than a demented idiot?
All capitals are *not* more legible than mixed case.

I assumed the previous poster was a long distance away as he was
shouting so responded likewise.
