Hmm I'm not overly fond of our popty ping. It's about two years old and so complicated. The demo we had in Currys made it seem simple to use, but neither of us can figure out how to use the timer so we keep pressing the minute button until we reach the required time. Of course, if we could find the handbook, life would be simpler but ...

Which was I did when neither of us could remember how to set the clock on the microwave although Mr BMcP still prefers just pulling the plug out and putting it back in at 12 o’clock exactly.

How smart is that!
I'm going to steal that & pretend I changed the clock myself.

I think Jones threw the manual out with the box it came in. It wouldn't be the first time

If you find the M/wave controls an issue, I give you the automatic clock/timer/oven settings on a cooker.

I've had cookers with automatic oven settings since the early 1970's, never been able to figure any of them out. I have mastered changing the clock on current one as it doesn't stop flashing when there is a power cut.

I’ve got an electric oven that has a timer and various other different functions (which I’ve never used O_o

) . I just shove my meal in the oven and I can usually smell it when it’s cooked. 😉 I can now reset the oven clock with ease after borking it up the first time the clocks went forward. 😳 I had timers pinging, alarms going off, the oven turned itself on automatically and the display wouldn’t stop flashing 00:00.

The one I usually forget to deal with is the clock in the car. 🙄

I don't bother changing that one. It only shows the correct time for 6 months of the year.

I had a fright in the car today. I was waiting in a line of traffic when a woman's voice filled the car. Yes, I checked the rearview mirror. There was no one there.
She said, "Enter your bin number shown on the display into your mobile phone."
Yes, I sussed out she actually said 'pin number', but I was in a state of shock.
Anyway, I gave her a right verbal going over and ignored her instructions.
Technology eh!
