My computer time informs me that it is now 1600 or 4pm
Chforum informs me that it is 1700 or 5pm
Who was early for Church this morning ? (Or doesn't agree with clocks changing ?)

My last post on "Sainsbury's" is timed at 1252.
the time NOW is 1156 -------- my watch ain.t wrong and my computer also states 1156 ---- !!!!!
Time travel seems to be normal on this Forum !!
I note that THIS post is also timed in the future !

GO TO:-
'USER CONTROL PANEL'
'BOARD PREFERENCES'
Then click 'NO'. To BST.
Unfortunately, when spring arrives, you will have to revert back !

No, he will just have to revert. As in reversing you cannot go forward, well the clocks can but revert forward you cannot.

OK--- so I am "Thick" --- BUT -- My computer automatically moves to and from BST, at the appropriate times.
It duly started the correct time, and was in accordance with the BBC, I also changed all the clocks.
The watch, which I use, also performs this task automatically.
I shall now submit this post, and see what time is recorded on the CH Forum.
My time is 17.13
The Forum says it is gone 6 12pm see above !
Who is wrong ?

On MY computer it says you posted at 5.12pm, because I have changed my personal settings on the forum, nothing to do with the computer.

Again??? It was a bit of a craze about 5 years ago, both of my daughters were into it, but it didn't last long. Scooby-doos also made a comeback and lasted for much longer. My memory is appalling so I couldn't remember much of either of them

I seem to remember that scooby-doo had a lot in common with the fancy knotwork that I learned first as a Sea Ranger, then as macrame, and then watched my husband teaching to Sea Cadets. I know this is all totally off topic, but perhaps it is time to start introducing my eldest grand-daughter to french knitting - remember that stuff we used to do as kids with a cotton reel with four nails stuck into the top?

I do remember that, Frances!
I have amongst my vintage patterns a garment decorated with the end results of the "french knitting". It's wonderful that some knittyperson actually found a way to use it!
