Nice one. I personally haven't a clue what time it is and haven't had a clue since last October when I sent all my clocks back. Cheers - Gary

Wish they'd leave the damn things alone forward back grrr. Remember once a few years ago we were in Turkey and had time to spare or so we thought. They'd gone forward, one mad dash to the airport lol. Greetings from Crete. Tom
