Odd, we had a power cut this morning also.
First in a longtime.

Where are you?

I'm sick of these bloody radio clocks that don't work. I end up setting them manually.

Haha, how did that end up in here.

Happens to the best of us, probably have loads of OCUK tabs open like I do !

WAIT!!!!

The clocks have already gone back?

So when I got up at 9AM this morning it was technically 10AM?

Phone and computer clocks auto-changing has confused the hell out of me.

Back to GMT, good. I wish this would be the last time the clocks change. We invented time and everything to do with it, it's all based in Greenwich, all the spare time for the future is stored there so we should now stop messing about with the clocks twice a year and leave it be.

(some of this post may be factually incorrect but I don't care, I hate BST and want to stay on GMT all year round)

I am the other way around, i feel that GMT is the wrong time zone for the daylight hours which we get here. I would much prefer to see us stay on GMT+1 all year round.

On mine you can turn the radio bit off. I had this isse a while ago could not be bothered to find instructions so factory reset.

It now updates as normal.

Our 2 year old has given us 3 nights of uninterrupted sleep in 6 months. My body clock is used to 5 hours of broken sleep now

Ours is 19 months. Can count the number of sleep all-the-way-throughs on one hand

Our two year old is the same, frequent night waking and seems to suffer from chronic gas pains

Will we ever be rid of this stupid DST nonsense :rolleyes:

The rest of Europe gets along just fine without doing this. And that includes the cold/dark northern countries too

Might want to check your reasoning.

I enjoy driving in the dark much more. It's so relaxing, for some reason.

I don't mind the driving in the dark part. Its the whole no daylight as you're a stuck in an office part

Agree, I live in central Scotland and it's either dark going to school or coming home, the theory is that it's partly to make it safer for kids going to school but it's dark much earlier this way and so more dangerous when they are going home and in a rush to get to their consoles ;-)

We should really think of stopping it..

Was staying up extra-late last night because I'm on nightshifts for the next 4 days, so while everyone else had an extra hour in bed, I had to stay up an extra hour to compensate. Made it until 5am though before being awake was actually starting to hurt.
