Clock Change

platypus · 27 Oct 2007 at 17:53

Clocks change tonight. Can't actually remember if its forwards or backwards, but I thought it worth a heads up anyway

.

Edit: Aye, extra hours kip as they go backwards.

_PD_ · 27 Oct 2007 at 17:54

Oh, I thought it was tomorrow night

Forwards, or backwards? I don't want to be late/early for work!

Glaucus · 27 Oct 2007 at 17:54

goes backwards at 1 am.

so 1am becomes midnight

_PD_ · 27 Oct 2007 at 17:55

Ta

Extra sleep!!!
Wish it was tomorrow night.

One of my mums crappy sayings comes in useful occasionally.

"Spring forwards".

It is Sunday night, it might always have been Sundays but it has certainly been Sundays for a long time, a few dates on the DTI's website.

A little thing to help you remember is clocks go forward first then back in the autumn (fall if you are American) so the aide memoire is Spring Forward, Fall Back.

//edit, beaten because I was finding the website.

I always thought it was 2am, but its neither here nor there at the early morning hours

It can be tomorrow night if you don't adjust your clocks tonight. I always leave it until Sunday night.

An extra hour in bed's great apart from the fact I hate it going dark early. My wife says I have SAD syndrome but I don't think she means anything to do with daylight.

But then you'll be an hour ahead all day Sunday, no? :confused:

Our timezone is GMT, and during summertime it's GMT+1 - that kinda gives a bit of a clue as to 'which way the clocks go'.

Which is of course 2am BST in case anyone was still confused.

I've done most of my clocks today.

Keeping the kids up later tonight in the hope they sleep in in the morning otherwise they'll be up at 5am instead of 6.

I have to work an extra hour. Go to work at 2200 BST and finish at 0700 GMT. That's 10 hours

I get to lie in until about 8-8.30 as I'm up in the night a lot with the baby still.
