Default Time switches & Daylight Saving Time

How many people actually adjust their viv-light timings for daylight saving? When I put mine in, it was BST anyway, and I didn't put them back in October!

Just curious!

Always change mine so it fits in with our lives. It's only a turn of the dial an hour. It's getting it right when it changes back is the problem! I got to turn the dial around 23hrs!!!!!!

Yeah, mine are dials, think I got six for a fiver! Not paying a tenner for a digital one that I'll never adjust!

I wouldn't mind but I used to have a few and flogged 'em on eBay... way way back before I got the reps!

i find the dial ones only last so long and then they seem to sort of get stuck and stop. Bought digital ones many Christmases ago and just could not work them out so gave em away. Buy them cheap after xmas at bnq lol 3 for tenner i think or may even have been 3 for fiver.
IVe given up how many ive got thro what with reps and christmas timers lol
ive got one good one where you put the pins in and out - they're the best ones but hard to get hold of these days.

I have 2 dial timers for all my vivs, and a few spare in the cupboard. They have never got stuck yet but I'm prepaired!! I can't justify using a digital timer when the dial one works ok at the price they are. They may be a few mins out but My boa's or dragons haven't told me that its only 27 mins past and not half past!
