What is it with clocks by central bus stops in towns and villages? The Paceville clock by the bus terminus is an hour backwards and has been so for a number of weeks at least. I guess it helps teenagers in Paceville blame something for arriving late at home. It may also help people and tourists not actually realise how long the wait for an Arriva bus is.

Perhaps, the people responsible for the maintenance of these clocks are being proactive and set it back an hour backwards (or did not set it forward before summer) so that it’s ready for when we change to autumn time.

Similarly, the clock in Valley Road Msida, never seems to work.

Others in Marsa and Sliema do not work properly.
