Spring forward, Fall back is how I was taught

Oh bother. One less hour of sleep.

GeForce · 25 Mar 2009 at 15:43

They do indeed.

Mat · 25 Mar 2009 at 15:52

That means I have to effectively get up at 5am to watch the Grand Prix live (yes I know I could wait until 1pm but then it wouldn't be live would it...) :/

Yea I usually forget too, I also use the "spring forward, fall back" thing.

Fall isn't an americanism. It is an old english term that fell out of use with the take up of the more french autumn. :cool:

Lose an hour (of sleep) for summer, gain an hour for winter

Pretty sure it was on QI but check out the Autumn entry in Wiki. I believe the subject matter is uncontentious enough for Wikipedia to be relatively OK on it.

Another F1 fan.

Seriously though I'm getting up at 5am for this. Should be a good season. And like you I hate not watching live. I never manage to make it to the repeat without finding out by accident who won. I think to myself when I go on BBC News site don't look at the Sports section on the right. So what do I see? A ruddy great big pic of Lewis Hamilton winning the GP. So now I know. :mad:

And didn't know it was clocks forward time already. Seems like only last week they went back.

Think this means I'll get a Free hour at work Sunday night then as I go in at 10pm Sunday & leave 7am Monday :cool:

Fubsy · 25 Mar 2009 at 16:13

Oh, great, as if getting up at 5am was bad enough I now have yet another hour less in bed.

Go to bed an hour earlier the night before?
