I am guessing Gaggenau double ovens. Strangest clock reset sequence ever. At least with our cars I can hack around and figure it out. For the ovens I have to refer to pdf every six months.

Maybe the whole thing was a misunderstanding. If the clock said 5 minutes to 11 you were probably at Pooh Corner. Winnie keeps the clock stopped there so its always time for a snack, or a scotch as the case might be.

In reply to JLM. Glad you made it ! Currently staying in Truro Nova Scotia, the pothole capital of Canada. Only place I hope for 2 feet of accumulated snow to make the driving conditions better. Certainly admire the paratroopers. Once took a sky-diving course to overcome a fear of heights. Paid for 20 jumps up front as I knew I was too cheap not to use them. Just as petrified on the last as on the first. If the plane wasn't a rust bucket where I felt slightly safer landing on my size elevens they would still be pushing me out now. Cant imagine night-time, unfamiliar terrain and incoming !

But it’s *not* every six months. Standard time only lasts from early November thru early March, which is four months by the reckoning of the fingers on my hand.Call me crazy, but I never “fall back”. Remembering to deduct an hour in my head from Nov-Mar is part of my Alzheimers Onset Early Warning System. Hehe.

In reply to Paul Graham. .Fresh back from overseas in the early 1970s, I owned a TR-6 and I loved it. Bought from a guy going where I had been. Paid about $2K for it.Not as good a babe magnet as a Shih Tzu but it was pretty close. I was a young paratrooper, Ranger and I loved that car.Way over powered and I wrecked it --- rolled it over on the Pennsylvania Turnpike going 75mph. Hit a huge hole in the road and lost control. Almost lost my life.But the stories that car could tell.JLM.

In reply to Kirsten Lambertsen. That doesn't work either since now it's not light until an hour "later". My kids gets on the bus in the dark after barely squeaking in a week of daylight boarding. He's the last bus of the morning by more than an hour so I guess it doesn't even matter to those other kids!

In reply to JLM. I'm a Brit . He looks foreign to me. Seriously a beautiful car, though lacking the leadership qualities of the Morris Minor that was his contemporary. You would never see your Impala at the front of a traffic jam but the Morris Minor was often at the head of the queue !
