Yes. I always think of it as 'Fall' back 1 hour (as in Autumn), and then in March, it's 'Spring forward'.
Woo-hoo, the clocks go back to GMT this weekend!

The one thing I like about the clocks going back this time is that I am working Sunday and on Saturday it is the local Halloween banger cars and fireworks which starts at 5pm so I can stay late and cheat that extra hour of sleep

Nope no thanks.
Sunset going from 1730 to 1630 is horrific and should be banned.
I really think we could be friends @Feek but i'm afraid this is a deal breaker for me, real deviant behaviour tbh...

I like that so many people agree with me and I don't need to post a new thread for this every year now, other people are so excited that they bump it.

I like this time of the year. October (all of it) through to late February.
Mid-March onwards, inverse-SAD kicks in, especially when the clocks go forward.

Just a little sooner.

You couldn't BE more wrong
I'm the complete opposite. I look forward now to late March. Although only glimmer is I have an early flight on Sunday which means I do get an extra hour in bed.
Only 37 hours or so go to until we get to proper time.

I bet you've got a countdown timer running

It makes driving a lot more difficult its bad enough nose to nose with crazy drivers but when its misty murky and dark as well I'm surprised there aren't more accidents than there are

Only joy of the shorter days for me is i don't spend the whole day outside and actually get home early enough to sort stuff out. The colder weather tends to force a lot of people inside out of the way too

I have to agree, Pointless in this day and age just leave things be!

It suits me. I have been off this week and staying up late to play games, watch YouTube etc. Now this will help me get into getting up earlier for work again next week. I think I will try and book holiday this week every year if possible.

Happy “Why on earth are you up at 5 am day?” for anyone with kids.
