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

[Rannoch]

Time to dust off the crowbar and balaclava.

I'm so pleased that we'll be back to GMT (UTC, Z, etc) this coming weekend.

We invented time, we invented Greenwich, we invented longitude and we invented clocks*

We'll be back to proper time again... BST can go swivel.

Everyone gets an extra hour sleep, everyone can be happy. GMT is the bestest!



*some of this may not be entirely factual

Not so great if you are working the night shift tho! Suddenly a 12 hour shift becomes 13, with only 12 hours of pay because, "it all evens out in the end". Isn't the NHS magic.

Are the dons going to repeat the jolly japes of a few days ago and force us all to the dark theme?

Probably not, they understandably probably couldn't take the ten pages of whingeing.

So with possible power outages between 4 and 7 why are we changing to GMT .

Because well Tories..... got to keep the peasants on the land. Now get off it scum.

Clocks go back meaning.........darker evenings? ***** sake. Well there goes my squeezing in a 50 minute bike ride after work.

Go before work.

 

[Mint8]

Pointless really.

The lighter early mornings dont last very long before their back to being dark;

Simple solution is changing your clocks to whatever time you want.

Already on it

Still not sure why we have BST at all nowadays.

 

[Cosimo]

Hibernation time again...

 

[LiE]

My dog will be confused, her internal body clock will be out for a week or so.

 

[inogen]

About time we stop this nonsense and stick to bst.

 

[MR_Punk]

It is quite crazy when you think about out shifts in daylight. From the summer solstice to the winter solstice its about a 9 and a half hour swing for me. Imagine living near the equator and not having the swing.

I hate the winter. I’d rather have the extra hour of sunlight.

You get it in the morning instead of the evening.

My heating/hot water timer changes time automatically. It knows what day of the week it is, as have a 7 day timer but how does it know which Sat/Sun it is?
Still need to get my manual to change car in clock, despite having car for 3.5 years. Previous cars was easier.

You forget how many clocks you need to change!

That means all of my shifts finish in the dark now - unless I'm asked to do 7-3

Never change the phone or car clocks. They're right for half of the year, never use them anyway.

Damn I hate this time of year

By next week Halloween is over and clocks have changed.

Just a case of looking forward to spring now

That time again, stitched up like a kipper for tonights shift

Not a problem for King Charles, the Palace and Windsor Castle employs a Royal Clock Master to ensure all the clocks are always set correctly. I think it's still Fjodor van den Broek.
