Anyone explain why Our Town Hall clock has been 2 hours slow for the last 3 weeks ?

PS I had warned a few people to stop buying these cheap batteries from unscrupulous suppliers.... At least buy some Duracell Ultra from Boots or The Factory Shop !

It's a false economy buying these cheapos ! (Wind up ) lol

lol If thats the same link as the Street light complaints, we will be waiting until 2012 to get it fixed....

4 weeks the last time for one of our Street lights and I actually think it's on the blink again...

Sorry 'No Faith' on a 'Clicky' that gets ignored....

be thankful for small mercies, here is the clock tower from the town of my birth, Shipley (if yorkshire had piles this is where they'd be! )

-at least the clock in Campbeltown looks nice, even if the time's wrong!

maybe it needs winding up?

Is this clock going to stay 2 hours slow for ever or what ! The same as my street light that's still out after 5 weeks !

Report it on the web page lol are you having a laugh ?

Maybe it will be fixed for June when the Tourists start to arrive in their droves !

E-mail received from the Council today following our e-mail regarding the Town Hall clock not working. Apparently the Council didn't receive our original e-mail of 20th December 2011!

I have spoken with my colleague in Facility Services who have confirmed that the responsibility for this lies with them. Malcolm MacFadyen, Head of Facility Services has asked me to pass your email on to him and he shall have a member of his team respond to your query with planned action.

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.

Did they really need an email to tell `em the clock was wrong?

lol Me and this clock.... I use it everytime I pop out of my shop.... I'm just getting used to the 'Mid Atlantic' -2Hrs timezone...

Did you hear anything yet about why it's been 2 hours slow for over 2 months now.... I can see the point if it loses or gains time.... but this 2 hr 10 mins is comical

I'd have been better of going to Poundland or Wally's in Longrow and getting a watch for a quid !

PS The Street lights in Drumlemble aint been fixed either.... Will need to get a ladder and do it myself, anyone know what bulbs they take ?

Just make sure you've got public indemnity insurance if you're going to start fixing clocks and fitting bulbs. You might fall on somebody.

Give the Courier a wee call before you go - it would make a good front page pic.
