Alarm clock delay

Hi everybody,

Not sure what's going on. When I plug my alarm-clock, it seems that it goes slow. Misses 15min every 1 hour. I come from Europe and maybe my device is made for European standards of electricity (200V/50Hz). Has anyone similar experiences?

Electricity here is 240v. So that could have something to do with it. Just use the alarm on your phone?

I use my cheap and nasty Nokia mobile phone as an alarm.
It works every time, perfectly.

Oups, sorry guys, a typo. In Europe electricity is 220-240 V / 50Hz
