How is it that, at airports it is so extremely difficult to find a clock?
I mean, THE place where the time is important would be an airport.
I?ve been looking at this for some time now, and in every airport i?ve been to, the same thing.
Mind, you do find some clocks in shops etc. But no "official" ones, like you have on a train station.
How weird is this...

Why is it that this rings so true to me too? Why or why can't we have more clocks at the airports???

Granted... but, as my phone is acussed of being responsible for various major accidents, I turn the thing of some time before i board...
And i must say that those screens with the departure info, don?t give the actual time.
What does the type of network cable they use have to do with this? And GMT for that matter. I?m not in london am I?
Call me old fashioned, but I want my big, visible clocks!!!!
