The Clocks

Tonight in the UK our clocks go back by an hour. For most people after the initial confusion this is just a matter of going from room to room and changing their clocks.

For me running a small hotel this is rather more complicated. I've been listing what clocks I have to change, and so far I've got to:

1. The wall clocks throughout the building.
2. The radio alarm clocks in every room.
3. The TV clocks in every room
4. The computers, both the customer use ones and the admin ones.
5. The electric locks - a big job as they are individually programmed and an hours difference particularly on check out times is huge. Locking a guest out of their room after they've gone down for breakfast isn't a good way to get repeat business!
6. The heating - individual timers for every room, and the public areas
7. The water de-lime scaler - set to go on just after lunch at the least intrusive time
8. The external lights - three separate circuits here.

And these are just the clocks I can think of at the moment - I guarantee I've missed one or two!

I'll report back tomorrow on how well it went, and what I missed!

UPDATE Well I've been round and I can add the phones, fax, coffee machine and microwave to the list, but am happy to report that with the exception of the microwave, everythings now on the correct time. Anyone know how to reprogram a Sanyo 900W Microwave/Grill?
