Leap second
editI see The Daily Telegraph tells us: "On June 30, dials will read 11:59:60 as clocks hold their breath ..." Just analogue dials then, not digital displays? Is that all dials, by Royal decree? Or is this just for people who still use those old-fashioned dials (with lungs)? (and great to see their picture of Big Ben being stopped for that extra second while they wash it...)

- Is this really an event only in UK? If so, UK will be a second behind the rest of the world? Martinevans123 (talk) 09:57, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
- It is not a UK only event. Only official master clocks will initially read 11:59:60. Computer clocks will update when they sync with an time server. Everyone else will have to update their clocks manually.--Racklever (talk) 12:00, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
- So a little surprised to see it listed here. For most people I suspect it will be a real "non-event". Or perhaps we're all breathlessly waiting for the unbridled excitement of that extra pip. Martinevans123 (talk) 12:23, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
