Will you adjust your clocks tonight?

To bring our timepieces into line with the time it takes the earth to turn on its axis a small periodic change is to be made tonight. "Leap seconds" are added to the time every few years to bring "too accurate" atomic clocks into line with Universal Time.  Clocks should go back one second during this night (30th June). We won't be bothering at Mas del Sol, but if you think a second is not that important, imagine how far Usain Bolt can run in that time: over 10 metres. And Lewis Hamilton loves a one second lead over his rivals. An extra second in bed will be well received here (if we remember to tell Eldo).
