Woo-hoo, the clocks go back to GMT next weekend!

I'm so pleased that we'll be back to GMT (UTC, Z, etc) next weekend. BST ends on the 26th October.

We invented time, we invented Greenwich, we invented longitude and we invented clocks*

We'll be back to proper time again... BST can go swivel.

Everyone gets an extra hour sleep, everyone can be happy. GMT is the bestest!

*some of this may not be entirely factual
We we we GMT but isn't that a pic of a swiss clock! :D
 
I live just outside a small village, so our street has no lighting. It is pitch black at the time the kids need to leave
Is this part of some stupid save the planet insentive, to turn off street lights after X time, or there just is none what so ever/never has been?
Either way, that's lethal, for kids, dog walkers, and drunks :P

Wouldn't it be great if we had cheap, portable sources of light.
You can always push your bicycle along and aim it's reflector at the moon or passing cars lamps?
 
It's not an extra hour in bed, not unless you start going to bed an hour earlier, which you can do anytime of the year, even during BST! Plus if you have kids forget it

However, no-one 'invented' time :cry:

Jaguar also had an SS


No but England discovered how to determine your position from it using Chromometers and time zones enabling us to beat up the Spanish and the French when they turned up late to the party.

This is why the Greenwich meridian goes through London,

Hooray for BWT, GMT etc.
