Nice, more light for my solar panels.

Haha!

Can we leave the clocks on BST?

Kosmiche · 24 Mar 2012 at 20:12

I can never figure it out in my head when it comes to this time, do I get a hour extra in bed or not?

RomanNose · 24 Mar 2012 at 20:14

Hour less.

Kosmiche · 24 Mar 2012 at 20:21

Ah yes thank you, seems obvious now.

Something about the simplicity of the clocks going forward or back 1 hour causes me to overthink and not able to reach a answer I'm satisfied with

Personally I'd be happier leaving them at GMT.

I need to get up in the morning for work but only have an alarm on my phone.

Now i am worried about whether the phone will do it automatically or not thus possibly making me late.

OCUK..what do!?

The obvious question here is... what phone is it?

Your phone will wake up in the middle of the night and slit your throat were you lie.

Thanks for the reminder about the time going +1hr

However for me (and other hot-temp haters on OcUk!) it marks the start of misery-time: hot weather, sunshine and blue sky. Counting down to October....

Ah crap, now to have a couple of weeks of the kid complaining that she shouldn't have to go to bed when it's still sunny outside.

Haha, I always used to complain about that!

Set two alarms? This is probably too obvious though

The one thing I hate is when people get mixed up between GMT and UTC. They are different!

lol, that made me laugh because you're wrong! GMT and UTC are exactly the same thing!

I detest BST. I wish we'd stay on GMT/UTC all year round.

Another vote for staying on GMT all year.

What do you think this is, a democracy?

RomanNose · 24 Mar 2012 at 23:50

Feek, no they are not. There is a fractional difference between them.

Iraklis F.C. · 24 Mar 2012 at 23:54

one hour less internetz :mad:

Feek, no they are not. Utc takes account for leap seconds.

And they're never more than (iirc) 0.9 seconds apart. To all intents and purposes they're the same thing.

DJMK4 · 25 Mar 2012 at 00:29

Anyone know the time

qqg3 · 25 Mar 2012 at 00:34

Less 1 hour? Ugh, who's idea was this again? /sarcasm
