Yeah, I think the "old Indian" joke is right on the mark.

And, if "they" (or The Doctor) actually tampered with time, I wouldn't care (or notice). But time doesn't change; the clocks are just mis-set. Now solar noon won't arrive until 2:01 PM at my house tomorrow. It's already bad enough around here. It just gets made worse for most of the year. That's just ridiculous.
