Putting the clock forward at Avebury Stone Circle. Stone Age man didn’t have daylight saving, so twice a year National Trust staff have to move one of the stones

Most clocks these days are so friggin' complicated that I don't know how the hell to alter them.

Would've made a PERFECT April fool joke and it would've been so funny to see how many would fall for it.  If only you'd waited a few days  Razz
