Interesting that lots of things have been coming out on this one in various places. I was chatting to a woman who had the same thing and she reckoned it was down to clocks with quartz crystals in them being affected. It occurred for her for a few days then stopped- it seems the same has happened to me. I have double checked the clock and used another on one occasion and both were slow so the effect, without the scientific rigour I'd have liked, seems to be suggestive of something extraordinary but guess unless it starts up again that's the end of this particular experiment.
Your story is interesting, Ann, and adds to another person I was chatting with who for a while became the bane of telivision viewers and computer users- she said she couldnt even boot her computer up at work so someone else had to do it for her, then it was OK for most of the time.
Regards to you all
