It's going to be brighter in the mornings now in the UK as from tomorrow. Don't forget to put your clocks/watches forward an hour.

 

I know for Willfly that this will most likely take a few days so you better get started mate :D

Tell me about it! When are the powers that be put an end to this archaic system. Too many watches + the boss collects wall clocks (only quartz I might add), so its up the ladder in the morning to do that lot. Marvellous.

 

Geo, I do understand that its got its uses up your end of the world, so if we kept the same time all year round dahn sarf maybe the lovely Nicola could keep the current system for Scotland if need be.

I'm all geared up and in train to do it at midnight, when I've wound down after a long day - it'll be the crowning moment of the weekend... Everything stems from an accurate watch so, as long as I don't lose my balance and walk around with a surly dial, I should be OK. It's always nice to see the date wheel round from winter to spring.

 

Mmm... better stop here... :D

Too many watches can do that to you I guess! :)

      Thank you for your introduction and welcome to this friendly forum. We all look forward to your contributions and continued involvement.  Was your great Uncle a clock maker to the Royals or did he work for a company? What was his name?

      I can remember in the army, doing a tactical night march and the officer leading the march had the bright ide of taping his compass (with tritium tipped hands) to the end of the barrel of his rifle so he could get a better bearing in the dark. We ran around in circles for hours until he realized that the compass was reacting to the steel of the rifle barrel. To say he was unpopular was a bit of an understatement.

      I bought a compass to detect magnetism. The magnetic tip reacted to both magenetised and non magnetised basic steel so it became a guessing game as to whether my test subject was either weakly magnetised or dense steel. I've found the best way to detect magnetism is by using the smallest unmagnetised screw and a known piece of unmagnetised steel to test the screw and another piece of known unmagnetised steel to test the first known piece of unmagnetised and another....................... 😂

      Ha ha, reminds me of this: "Don't go puttin' none of that stuff on my sled, Clark. You know that metal plate in my head? I had to have it replaced, cause every time Catherine revved up the microwave I'd pi$$ my pants and forget who I was for a half hour or so. So over at the VA they had to replace it with plastic."
