Today’s clock rules:
1. The iPhone clock automatically went back 1 hour.
2. Wall clocks to be wound back 1 hour.
3. It will take 1 hour to work out how to reset the oven clock.
4. The car clock will remain 1 hour ahead of time until the clocks go forward in March.
5. Britain will probably have a power cut and all the electrical clocks will have to be reset again.
