Re: Clocks

I'm an organised person Apricot and I really detest being late.
It must be a couple of years ago now, but I needed to be somewhere for a certain time, but due to traffic problems and hold ups, I was half an hour late. I can't describe how awful I felt! I mean really I was so embarrassed

Re: Clocks

We have about ten clocks and they all say slightly different times. I use Alexa for the correct time. A few of them are old antiques and time keeping was not their forte.

Despite this, I am rarely late for anything.

Re: Clocks

I confess to being a bit neurotic about time. I think it goes back to teaching when everything had to be conducted to the minute.

That's why I don't wear a watch or have any clocks in the house other than alarms clock and those on the appliances. Otherwise, I would be looking at them constantly.

Re: Clocks

I have one clock in the kitchen which I glance at from time to time (oh...sorry, haha!) But generally I use my phone. I'm not late for anything - I'm one of those annoying early people who roll their eyes when I'm early for a meeting or appointment, and everyone strolls in after the allotted time

Re: Clocks

When l was younger, I used to be late for everything but l never ever let anyone down by not turning up.
These days, l am more disciplined. Probably, because l have more time!


I can usually guess the time and mostly l get it right or not far out. I am not sure how l can do this?

Re: Clocks

I have a clock on my PC, one in my bedroom which is also a radio & one in the living room, the clock on the cooker is never right because I have no idea how to work it.
I hate to be late for anything, most of the time I wait around to be picked up by my Daughter if I'm going somewhere with her & she is often late. I always tell her a half hour before I need to go, that way I am usually on time.
