Clocks BACK This weekend

[Em3bbs]

Lovely, back to real time again. Hate BST with a passion.

Really ? You've never mentioned it before.

Annoyingly I'm flying to the West coast of the US on Saturday and this is going to screw up my jetlag even more. Edit: no just checked and luckily they don't change in the US until 6th Nov.

I'm going to controversially turn the clocks back at bedtime on Saturday, currently ~2030 BST.

I've notified the time police

It seems later this year, usually the clocks go back before half term.

It is before half term, at least for my kids.

Dark when you go to work, dark when you go home. Can't wait

At almost 63 I don't get many chances to be a rebel these days so mine are going forward.

POWER TO THE PEOPLE.

Still baffles me why you want more light in the mornings....Wouldn't you do it the other way?

Agreed. I think efforts should be made to adjust the tilt of the earth so we don't have to bother.

Give A'Tuin; Berilia; Tubul, Great T'Phon; Jerakeen the right nudge and all might be sorted.

Well that's just silly.

a lot of people believe that it was originally to do with farms and workers getting up early and also children getting to school without being run over.
However it is actually a really old and pointless in this day an age reason.

"
Supporters for the proposal argued that such a scheme could reduce domestic coal consumption and increase the supplies available for manufacturing and the war effort during the First World War.
The idea was not a new one, however. In 1895 an entomologist (or insect expert) in New Zealand, George Vernon Hudson, came up with the idea to the Wellington Philosophical Society outlining a daylight saving scheme which was trialled successfully in the country in 1927.

[Django x2]

Why don't we just offset by 30 mins. Best of both worlds.....LOL

When did Autumn get renamed to Fall?



Last weekend of October doesn't get any earlier or later

Americanisms that creep into our language usually annoy me, but in this instance i'm willing to forgive it, as "Spring forward, Autumn back" doesn't really have the same ring
