Might seem a stupid question, but I live in France and PC clock says one time, Radio 1 (my only source of music/chat) says another and the PH clocks say another.

Did the clock go back in the UK last weekend??

I always thought that the signal was taken direct from Greenwich not generated by the BBC.
