There was befuddlement all over the UK this morning after every motorist in the country reported that the clock in the car is mysteriously showing the correct time.

According to sources the clock in the car has been about an hour fast for the last six months or so but for some unknown reason now seems to show the same time as the clock on a mobile phone and matches up to the Radio 2 time check.

“It’s an unsolvable mystery. It happens every year. The clock in the car is right again, has it bloody changed itself or something.” Said Dave Late, motorist.

“I’d just got used to it being an hour fast, so I ended up being an hour late this morning for my shift”

‘Thanks a lot clock.”

The clock on the microwave is wondering if anybody even knows he’s a clock.
