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. ;-) What happened to the days when people knew how to fit their own plugs? -- I'm not a vegetarian because I love animals. It's because I hate plants. |
