they were all (supposed) to be set to standard uk time. but they become desynched because that's what cheap clocks do.
i did actually work this out the difference in local solar mean times, being the sad act that i am, and Doncaster is just over a minute ahead of Sheffield, Rotherham is about +20 seconds ahead, and Barnsley about the same.
Centisecond, if that, I should think. Too tired to be bothered to work it out.
