We actually needed the little one to wake up early, so it worked out well. :D

I completely forgot the clocks had changed. Was only mid afternoon i realised. My phone and my apple watch changed automagically. Sky telly changed automagically. Car changed automagically (Well the 128 did anyway...Not been in the mini and the lotus definitely will need changed) Housewise I've only needed manually change the clock in the kitchen.

Got an extra hour in a hotel for free so I cannot complain!

Makes up for those night shifts I've worked where I have had to do an extra hour!

My wife came out as I was looking in the garage for the power tool batteries and told me to put the roast on. Turned out the Casio watch doesn’t automatically switch for the hour change 😂

It’s been absolutely glorious in Glasgow-ish today. Clear and crisp. 16 DegC.

Sunny in Surrey too. Actually was playing in the garden with the kids for a change, rather than doing this....

I heroically resisted putting the time back an hour on my (Bosch) oven last autumn, so it's been an hour fast for the last six months. Now it's back on track for the summer 8-) saved myself a good couple of minutes unecessary labour there.

It’s this general slapdashery in basic everyday tasks which will be the downfall of society.

The TT clock is an absolute twat, you think you’ve set the time and are one button press away from going back to the year 2000 !

The merc one is buried in an awkward menu system, quite fun watching the analogue hands swing all the way round if you get the button sequence right.

The mito one is very easy, but you can only do it when the car is stationary, when I’m on the way to work paying attention to the time I don’t have time to stop and adjust it. On the way home I don’t care what time it is and completely forget about it until I get in the next morning.

Repeat for several months until I finally remember to adjust it before driving off 😂

Ah yes the Mito stationary thing got on my tits, I think it’s why I never changed it. I remember being bored senseless on a 50 mph section of motorway and thinking I’d gone crazy as I couldn’t find the menu to change the time.

Speaking of not being allowed to change things unless stationary - it looks like Apple CarPlay had an update recently where you can’t input an address unless using voice control. Bastards.
It’s impossible to tell if to go to “Tenterden” as the fucker just says “tententen” 🙈

Yeah, I do mine and the mrs car the first time I drive them after the date. It takes about 15 seconds to do.

My Merc is automatic - not sure how. Possibly it's 'online' all the time, as it does have that assistance dialer built in and the remote app that I can use to query the car.

Yeti is a couple of buttons.

I think most cars from the last decade or more change automatically based on the time signal transmitted with the RDS.

Porsche seemingly didn't get the memo (at least not for until post 2015) but they have implemented the change via a toggle button that says "Daylight savings on/off" so easy to change.

I recently bought myself a PS5 and was addicted to playing GT7 so accidentally found myself playing video games at 2.15am like a teenager as a result of the time change :lol: Definitely more midlife crisis than the purchase of a sports car IMO.

Have you noticed on GT7 the car clock displays the real time 8-)
