It's very strange, are you sure the ntpdate command is getting the
time from the server successfully at boot?

I did have ntpdate in mint.cnf but it seems to have gone from the
mint.cnf files in all the folders !

Last year I was trying to get ntpd working, so maybe I removed it then.

I have put ntpdate back again.

# Timezone (mandatory)
#~setenv TZ GMT-0BST,3.5.0,10.5.0
setenv TZ GB
#exec    u:\sbin\tzinit -l
exec    u:\sbin\tzinit -u
ntpdate pool.ntp.org
