I don't know how clear the photo is, but I have a Neff main oven and smaller oven above, both with seemingly identical displays. However one of the clocks keeps vastly different time to the other such that by the time I come to change the clocks today one is three minutes faster than the other. How can that happen?

The crystals used to generate the base timing clock have ever so slightly different properties, and therefore frequencies, so don’t keep the same time.

They also oscillate at a different rate according to temperature as the quartz oscillator changes size/shape slightly. So an oven that is used more often/at higher temperatures may be lose more time.



The solution is to run both ovens at the same temperature for the same time and report back in a year.

^ This is rubbish, the obvious answer is one of the clocks is near a micro singularity which is causing a shift in the phase variance. Do your soufflés rise unevenly in the affected oven?

The top oven is further away from the earths centre than the bottom oven. As the earth spins, the top oven is moving faster and thus experiences time differently.

This is also why your head is older than your feet.

I have a new Tesla Model Y yet am now quite sad that I'll no longer have my shed (Saab TTID) to tool around in with no cares in the world, leave it anywhere, don't have to slow down for width restrictors, don't clean it, worry about it etc......
Oh and those seats......
(can't keep it as Ulez says no....)

I have recently sold my 2005 Range Rover which I've had from new having bought a Tesla 3 two years ago and found I stopped using the RR. It feels odd to be battery powered for most of my motoring - but it's how it is.

It gets worse.
I have been enjoying my cheese advent calendar, with it's agreeable selection of cheesy comestibles. Yesterday I opened a red Leicester which was nice. Imagine my disappointment when today's cheese was ALSO a red Leicester.
You can't have two consecutive cheeses the same FFS!
I am going to take it back to the shop, shout and stamp my feet, and show a massive sense of entitlement......

just been chatting about those! A beer one might be manageable but a whisky one sounds dangerous!
