In the loft/come shack I spotted a radio controlled clock I had bought maybe a decade before - so I thought slap some batteries in and try it.
I think it was an Aldi/Lidl purchase, most likely Aldi....
It made several attempts to receive the time data, but consistently failed downstairs. On moving it to a better reception position upstairs, it again made several attempts, but must have got some reception, because several times it at least showed seconds in the display, then eventually got a full data set and displayed an 'S'. I'm wondering if it might be trying to receive the German time signal, hence the troubles syncing itself? MSF is usually easy to receive here.
There is no name on it, a reset hole in the rear, a very large LCD digit display, display the temperature C or F, the moons phase, day/month day. It has four buttons on the front - Set time, up, down and a C/F button. It can be wall hung or a fold out metal bracket allows it to stand on a desk.
It has a switch on the rear CET / UK. CET makes it one hour fast and 24 hour clock, UK makes it show UK time, but am/pm 12 hour. I think that lack of UK with 24 hour format was why it got forgotten.
I wonder if anyone might recognise it.
