    Time troubles in southern hemishpere Ed.It isnt the equator causing it either.As soon as you get below 40 degrees south(Tasmania for example) clocks run in the opposite direction,as you suspected Ed.Ships and planes all have dual time keeping as normal clocks start to run backwards at 40 latitude.Cheap mechanical watches just wind themselves to pieces Luckily with battery clocks and watches,it just flattens the battery The planes have a battery fitting service to replace them on the return trip.Hope this explanes the situation for you Ed

    Perfect explanation Aussie....just glad that it's been more than a few days since I fell off the turnip truck, cause if it had been last night that I fell off the turnip truck, I just might have bought that load of hogwash
