The Chaiman & owner of the Bowmer & Kirkland Group, Mr John Kirkland OBE, for whom I spent 20 happy years woking, as MD of one of his companies, is just about THE sharpest knife in the box, THE most intelligent man you could ever meet, I mean, he is a total genius, building his Group from almost nothing to the most successful (profit wise & Client-Satisfaction wise) & biggest privately-owned Construction Group in the UK.

And yet, he insisted on EVERY clock in his domain - ALL the clocks in the Group , & his "home" - a tidy sized pad, be assured, in 200 acres of Derbyshire beauty - being 20 minutes fast. How bizarre is that?

He's obviously cuckoo

My mother has always done that and it drives me nutz when ever i go around there, i ask her why
she does it and she just cant explain

A friend of mine keeps his watch set 5  minutes fast, he thinks it means he's never late anywhere. Never understood why he doesn't just aim to arrive 5 minutes early.

WHY??

5 minutes - big deal......

should try living in the jungle where there are no clocks or watches, the only way of telling time is judging the position of the sun in the sky - you're always at least 5 minutes out!!

who's gonna stop you from taking a watch with you when you go to the jungle?

very strange..My Wife does the same, the clocks are all 10 min fast in the house and her car. when i asked why? ( drives me nuts) she said so she won't be late....

HOWEVER ....And here's my point..If she has a 10 min drive and has to be there at 5 pm she leaves the house at 5 pm ..WTF is that all about

My car clock is always at least 25 mins late.....then I am on time - i have more time than I thought. Nothing wierd about that at all.

All my clocks are set 10mins fast too, when you are running late you forget, but those extra mins are a godsend!

I even have my lappy clock set a few mins fast, it helps me to stop missing out on tournys that I wanted to enter, and only just remembered in time
