And that includes you and your bowels.
It seems that way!
Could you carefully remove the hour hand and refit it an hour previous? It might be a keyed shaft to ease assembly (no calibration) however if it is just a splined/interference shaft you might be okay.

We're further north and also further west. Edinburgh is further west than Bristol. The combination makes quite a difference to sunrise.

Thanks, but no that doesn't help I'm afraid. (I think I'd found that fixya page before).
That is all for digital clocks, as is yours, mine is analogue and based on a different mechanism (unsurprisingly).
It's ok, AFAICS Lidl have cocked up, I'll take it back in a couple of days.
You've just proved your intelligence level is too low to participate in an adult discussion.
It makes it WORSE for us in the evenings. We end up with it getting dark EARLIER than the English. Therefore we should wants the clocks further FORWARDS in winter! I don't care if it's dark for an hour or so when all people are doing is either lying in or driving to work. But most people are at home in the evenings and are stuck in artificially created darkness, it's absurd! Think of the waking hours of most people, why have we put the light part of those hours all at one end?
Quite possibly, but I've got better things to do right now.
Sounds like it.
Does the clock start at 12, 4, or 8? Could be the hands were put on wrong...?

They start at 12.
However, perusing the Lidl service site, I found the same looking clock sold previously under a different model number.
It says for UK the hands should go to 11 (and for a couple of other countries to 1, presumably as they are an hour ahead)
looks like my clock should have stayed on the mainland :-)
There are hundreds of these being sold from today - and they're all wrong by an hour. The intructions for this clock make no mention of any means of adjusting it by an hour, and Lidl themselves say they're getting loads of complaints - but have no answer beyond a refund.
They're either very stupid or just assume their customers are stupid enough to put up with defective clocks.
I don't know about that particular model but on similar clocks I've just prised the "glass" off and moved the hour hand round a bit. It's just a friction fit.
Ah! Problem found.
Maybe they will give you a "goes to 11" one in exchange.

You would have thought by now, they would have a rotary "offset hours" knob.
Scottish farmers, if I remember correctly.
Do their cows tell the time, then?
The aldi/lidl clocks often have a UK/CET switch to set the time zone.
That's illogical. Farmers work whenever it's light. The number on the clock is irrelevant.
Since when did Scots farmers outnumber everyone else in the UK?
I assume that they were supposed to be UK specific ones, and they cocked up somewhere.
I'm mostly just amused by it :-)
