30th October Economy crashes after clock failure

In breaking news that may or may not be virtually true the Bristih economy nosed dived this morning in a way not seen since the heydays of Trussonimics as millions of Britains wasted an entire day trying to reset the clocks in their cars.

Early figures are estimating that close to 3 millon work hours have been lost today as people simply refused to move from their drives until they had worked out how to move the clock back an hour. This has been blamed both on the infrequency with which normally rational humans are required to do this together with the average attention span of seven mins which makes trying to remember something you did 6 months ago an utterly redundant exercise.

Speaking to Grace Under Pressure's very own chronologically challeneged correspondent, Hucknall resident, Gizza Minit, revealed, "there appear to be three types of clock, those were you simply push back the hour hand, those that automatically reset themselves like on my laptop, mobile devise or even microwave, although why that even needs to tell the time is a mystery. And then there are those clocks, like the one in my car that would stretch Stephen Hawkin to alter. Although thinking about that his hands weren't really the best for doing fiddly stuff were they."

"I know I have a manual somewhere o that someone on Youtube will know how to do it but in the end it's just easier to spend half of the year arriving early for every single appointment. To be honest I don't know why we bother with changing them at all. I mean its not as if the body clock of my four year old twins recognise the benefit of 'the sacred extra hour' in bed but simply wake up for the whole of the first week at 5am instead of 6am."
