Clocks go forward as "Full time" called at Rugby

OK, not strictly television presentation related, but I thought some of you might be interested in reading this, and we can incorporate any TV related discussion re the change to BST into this thread.

What will happen to the atomic clocks housed at Rugby? Museum pieces now or put to another use?

They are very reliable atomic clocks, so I assume they will be put to another use.

at least their one hour LESS of those ITV MINT programme

Oh I forgot the clocks were going forward tonight, thanks.

Let's just hope broadcasters remember - in the past, some of them have taken a while to adjust their clocks (eg on teletext services).

You can bet your life News 24 will be without a clock tonight then for a few hours.

There's a diffrence between a human remembering and a computer doing something!

I'm pretty sure that the atomic clocks that keep them in time are at the NPL in Teddington.

I think so. This site talks about the atomic clocks being at the transmitter site, but 'checked' against the ones at NPL Teddington.

Oh? Well there was the time (think it was either March this year or October last year) when they had their usual reminder that the clocks had changed - and yet theirs hadn't!

This means we lose an hours sleep doesn't it..
