Having just looked through the rules, I see that they are not allowed to bring any clocks or watches into the house, however having watched/listened (I find the audio feed much more stable most of the time, just putting the video on when something interesting seems to be happening) to it over the net they seem to know, to within about 5 minutes, what the time is (from comments made by, I think, Helen).

So, do they have a clock?

Yes, they have a clock on the wall. They need the clock so they know when tasks can be finished by etc. Also, what is that electronic thing on the wall near the door to the garden? it has some numbers on it.

Yes. This was confirmed on the "Little Brother" E4 show tonight. Apparently the psychologists advise that they have a clock, and there was a clock last year too.

There is just the one though.

Aaah. Yes, I suppose they would need a clock for the tasks. I kinda assumed they just went on and did them and BBro told them when the time was up.

Can't say i've noticed the thing by the door, but watching over the 'net doesn't exactly give a huge amount of detail (to say the least) and I've actually not paid that much attention to it when it was on Ch4.... not got E4 unfortunately

Also revelaed tonight was that the "thing by the door" is some kind of control/monitor for the solar panels.

It isn't a clock.

Aaaah. So.....why all the solar panels?? Is this some attempt to look environmentally friendly? I suppose with the several hundred kilowatts of light that seem to be permanently on it could be an idea.

Did they say any paticular reason for having the solar panels?

"Supplying the house with power" - take from that what you will. It sets a good environmental example.

They kind of look pretty cool as well.... it wouldn't quite have the same effect in red brick....

Indeed. I'll grant you, they do look cool, but i'm sure the power they create is nothing compared to the power that house must consume.....hell, just to power a normal house you need a roof-full, and even then it only works in the summer

Guess, as you say, it sets a good example. "It's the thought that counts" and all that. Perhaps we should get Dubya over and see what he could do to liven things up....perhaps digging for oil in the chickens house.

Anyway, as the occupants of the bbro house have gone to bed, i think I'm heading that way too. Night all!
