Clocks go back this Sunday!

Vern1961 · 22 Oct 2015 at 03:33

Working 12 hour night shift Saturday 1900 - 0700 which will become 13 hours (luckily get paid the hour's OT), will be a long haul!

I don't remember the last time I had to actually adjust a clock for this with most things being automatic nowadays

Love it, back to GMT where we should stay all year round (I say the same thing every year).

What do you mean should stay? You prefer darker afternoons?
The sunrise sunset difference in summer wouldn't be much different.

Still a few such as the cooker, central heating, some radios and watches/clocks that need to be changed by hand.

Really?!

I'd much prefer BST all year round. Think the switch to GMT is terrible.

No thanks.

BST FOR PRESIDENT.

I like the idea of the extra hour in bed but in reality I waste the hour staying awake for nothing because I can't get myself to bed.

The dark nights rise....

It's already grim at 5:30. Going home at effectively 6:30, RIP daylight. Driving in the dark is awsum tho.

I am on shift and don't get paid the extra hour. My company argues that they pay the lost hour when the clocks go forward.

Got stitched last year as I wasn't on shift when they went forward.

I was very keen on the double BST the Lighter Later campaign was trying to get brought in, summer evenings that were light until 10pm, yes please!!!

Extra hour sleep thats a blessing

Ah, the half year where the microwave tells the correct time.
