There doesn't appear to have been the annual warning posted about this yet, so here it is along with some interesting facts about changing time.

Delayed to the end of the year supposedly as they had problems with the implementation.

Once a year, our boffins can move time forward,not only that, but then, a little while later,they only move it back too!

Mind blowing tbh. :cool:

I wonder how many people are going to turn up late for work today, feigning ignorance of the clocks going forward.

It will be a dark morning but a bright night tomorrow.

I did this once about 11 years ago lmao. I got to work and was properly confused as to why the store was open when normally we would be waiting outside for the manager to turn up to let us in.

On the brightside of things, the clock in my car will now actually be correct

It's 6.30am and I've been up for 1.5hrs, just waiting for my car to pick me up for the airport. Needless to say I couldn't sleep due to worrying if my alarms were going to go off, and at the right time. I was awake reading and having a large whiskey at about 2am. So I reckon I got about 2hrs sleep. Feel like **** now. Thank god for flat bed business class, at least.

Where you heading off to?

Love a Virgin business class flight, use them maybe 3 times a year to go to Boston where our heading office is

LA for work. Do it once or twice a year. It's a great flight but the morning one has been getting earlier and earlier. Preferred it when it was 1130 odd, it was nice and relaxed

that's half a dozen clocks I gotta alter now, do we really need such faffing about for the vast majority in order for a tiny minority to get 60 mins extra daylight ?

The EU voted it out by 2021 didnt they?

how dare they,

bloody EU, banning our long held and treasured traditions.

It's actually the one thing I agree with them on

I think the only one I would need to change these days is the microwave. We only have a few clocks in the flat and they adjust themselves these days. Definitely the way to go!

Again, much less likely now everyone has a smart phone that will always be correct.
