I had another look at a laptop of mine and wondered if any of you gents had 
added '/usr/local/bin/chronyc online/offline' in your laptop network scripts?

There's two issues with this laptop.  First is that it is mostly used at home, 
but occasionally may be used on the move, so an ntp server is not always at 
hand.  Second is that it can take up to 70 seconds to get an IP address from 
the router, during which it will also have no access to the Internet.

This is my current config:
================================
server 0.uk.pool.ntp.org offline
server 1.uk.pool.ntp.org offline
server 2.uk.pool.ntp.org offline
server 3.uk.pool.ntp.org offline

maxupdateskew 100

driftfile /var/lib/chrony/drift

dumponexit
dumpdir /var/lib/chrony

makestep 1.0 3

rtcsync

rtcdevice /dev/rtc
================================
