    Got a new big LED wall clock for myself, (8 by 20 inches in size). It's so bright that you don't require any nightlights in the area it's mounted.

    I just found it very funny, when I saw this on it's display right now.

    When I went to the shop, I had a choice of colors - Red, yellow (which I wanted but was unavailable), green, and blue.

    I knew that blue would keep me awake, and although red was nice. But I settled for green - Only now do I realize why!?

    It's because in my subconscious, it was making me feel very nostalgic. As it's reminding me of those old VCR clocks. I'm sure you all too would remember, (and agree). Only the one I now bought above is a giant in comparison to the one below. Which use to give a lovely futuristic glow in our living rooms during the 80s.

    I had one similar to this back in the 70's where the numbers for the time flipped over !!

    I've had this radio/alarm for over forty years. It was a "freebe" from Binatone.

    It's still in perfect working order. Although every few years the volume control gets a bit scratchy, but a spray of switch cleaner cures it.

    Our local church's digital clock is stuck at 20 past 4 in the afternoon.

    This solar powered Casio was second hand when I got it in 1985. Still works fine :)

    The nearest church to me rings bells on the hour but every year they are inaccurate after we fall back in time. So, you have to add an imaginary "ding' to know the right time !! :D

    It's right for six months of the year which is better than no clock at all :) Ours is only right once a day so all the services have to start at 20 past four :)
