Engineers set to TURN BACK THE HANDS OF TIME!! (amazing)

Engineers will travel from St Paul's Cathedral to Newcastle Cathedral as part of their task to change 80 clocks across England and Wales.
With the clocks going back this weekend most people will be looking forward to an extra hour in bed.
But a team of specialist engineers, from Derby, will be working flat out to turn back time on 80 clocks across England and Wales.

Specialist clockmakers Smith of Derby will be changing the times of clocks on famous landmarks, including St Paul's Cathedral in London.

A total of 18 field engineers were beginning the mammoth task on Sunday morning and are expected to finish on Wednesday.
The majority of the time pieces are public or church clocks, including those on Newcastle Cathedral and on Nottingham's Victoria Shopping Centre.

Bob Betts, the firm's managing director, said the team can get the job done relatively quickly.

He said: "It is difficult to do it [turn back clocks] at a predetermined time and all at the same time, so we work very closely with the town halls and the parish councils to find out when is best to do it for them and get everyone alerted to that.

'I'm sure there'll be people saying: 'Is that the right time or is that the wrong time?' But we get there."

He said some of the clocks were hard to get to.

"The nature of a public clock is that it's usually in a tower, so our guys will have to climb up those 150 or so steps.
