Woo-hoo, the clocks go back to GMT this weekend!

I can only offer my condolences, it must be quite depressing for you. In my case it's all good from here until March [at which point I start getting seriously stressed out and in need of medication]. But Oct-Feb is pretty much utter bliss for me.

Thanks. Yeah I knew moving here I'd be sacrificing a worse winter than normal. For a better summer. Just wish winter wasn't so long!

Feels like we skipped Summer and Autumn, it was just one long mild cloudly year. Autumn hasn't properly happened as most of the trees my way still have green leaves on them, usually by now they've all turned brown and shedding

We had a good spell in September and early October. Then that mini heat wave in... July??

Got good memories of that!

 

[robgmun]

That was for like one or two weekends??

So glad of the bonus hour asleep tonight, felt cream crackered all evening, off to bed early!

 

[Lysander]

Yay tonight! Awesome, I forgot.

An extra beer!

My youngest came round Saturday afternoon with his wife, we’d been looking after their cat while they had a week in Germany, visiting my elder son.
He stood quietly looking out of the window around 16.50 and I said, “What’s up kid?”
He said, “I was thinking that this time tomorrow it’ll be 10 to 4 and dusk like this, what an absolute pile of ****!”

Anyone like me woke up at an hour before they normally do? Managed to get a bit of sleep after that before alarm woke me.

Dogs and small children don't understand clocks went back so they will wake up 1 hour earlier than usual.

Do you ever stop moaning cheesefest? , or are you never satisfied.

Welcome to the life of people who work in retail.

Kids up at 06:30 this morning, makes it even more painful that we didn’t get an extra hour! Or did we? Happy Sunday one an all!!!

 

[mrochester]

Forgot for the first time ever. Up at 4:45 rather than 5:45.

 

[Yaayuh!]

Sadly, my 6 month old doesn’t understand the concept of daylight savings.

Noticed that others experienced and commented what I mentioned about young children don’t have a concept of clocks going back

I tried to outsmart her by putting her down an hour later. Apparently body clocks don't work like that

You can add Jean-F to the moanlist at this rate.

GMT doesn't apply to Sky+ boxes though apparently.

Dark at 5pm. Y'all happy, now? Lots of us won't be able to enjoy bathing in the sun's carcinogenic rays again for 5 months

Slackers at Sky.

We are aware that some customers with Sky+ boxes are seeing British Summer Time shown in the Sky Guide menu this morning following the overnight seasonal clock change. We are investigating how to correct this. We have verified that the impact appears limited to the wrong time being shown in the clock. Watching live TV, recordings, and downloading and playing VOD appear to be working correctly.

The more I deal and see customer services with Sky the more despair I see.

The sky tech guy who usually changes the time phoned in sick

Sadly I could believe that in todays mad world. Covid stopped it from happening.
