KEY POINTS:
Telecom has apologised for an internal automated error which left some customers confused about the start of daylight saving this morning.
Its 0800 talking clock advised listeners that clocks should have been put back an hour at two o'clock this morning.
In fact, daylight saving, or New Zealand Daylight Time, comes to an end on April 6 after the government extended it to 27 weeks following a petition from United Future leader Peter Dunne.
Calendars and diaries printed prior to the change carry the old date.
Telecom spokesman Mark Watts apologised for any inconvenience caused by the error.
