I don't have Sky, but hearing this just staggers me.
The internet is awash with NTP servers.
Pretty much every OS defaults to getting it right.
Sky must have deliberately (and unnecessarily) fiddled around in order to break it.

Breaking news, man falls victim to jet-lag after transatlantic flight.
Didn’t he fly in from Rome?
Kids!
So after a crappy day at work yesterday I was happily chilling on the sofa when my eldest phoned. She’d had a massive row with her girlfriend and was told to get out of the house.
The problem was that they’re been drinking until 10am so they were still drunk and we had to drive to burgess hill to get her and her car.
A 3 hours round trip wasn’t what I had planned

Bought a bed from a well known premium online brand. The frame was supposed to be in 3 boxes. 5 turned up. When I put it together I saw that 2 of the boxes were duplicates sent in error. I emailed them, they said they would arrange collection and let me know when it was scheduled. That was last Wednesday.
Came home from golf yesterday to find a card through the door from UPS saying "we attempted collection but no one was in, we will try again next business day". Checked email including spam folder, no advance notification.
Phoned them up and after an eternity on hold got to speak to some guy who tried to make out it was my fault for not being in. Asked them for a time window for the next collection attempt, he said it would be between 9 and 4. I asked if they could give me a smaller window, he said no. I asked if they could ring or text when they were on the way, same answer.
So, had to cancel today's game to wait in for these clowns.

Agreed. It happens twice a year, regular as clockwork and yet somehow this time they've messed it up. Probably trying to get people to upgrade!

It's a thought. Probably even money they won't even turn up to collect them today.

This is apparently our last chance to save the planet; without this agreement we’re doomed. And we are relying on someone who can’t plan his own schedule so that he stays awake during the relevant bits, or doesn’t delegate the job to someone who can stay awake? He really doesn’t deserve to be cut any slack for this.

Was he asleep or resting his eyes, we'll never know.
As you say, a very important subject and yet all the press can report is Biden has a long blink. Maybe he was saving energy
Far to accommodating, I’d be telling them, not the other way round ??
He’s a world leader and it’s inexcusable.

Do you honestly believe that the 'Leaders' are the ones doing business at COP 26? All the work will be done by the minions in the background and the 'Leaders' will take the credit for it.
It is all a waste of time anyway as most of the work for any announcements will have been done already before the conference. As shown by todays announcement about stopping deforestation - signed by over 100 countries, less than 24 hours after the start? I think it was all signed and sealed long before the opening speeches. Just do the work without the big showboating!!!!

So it's nothing new: much like any and every other deal negotiated by businesses and governments

But the one in the middle doesn't count as a world leader does he
just noticed that he is the only one in the picture not wearing a mask. Aside from the message this sends, I thought wearing a mask in an indoor public place was a legal requirement in Scotland these days?
