British Summer Time

[becky]

...... ends at 2am tomorrow morning, so don't forget to put your clocks BACK one hour tonight and enjoy that lie-in.

I’m off to catch a flight at 4am so definitely need to remember the clocks, although the important ones, i.e. our phones do it automatically. We’ve only got two proper old clocks in the house as apposed to my father in law who’s got 27 😳

Under this government I’ve already turned the clocks back to the 1970’s 🤡

Are you going to grow sideburns and dig the old flares out? 🤣

I’m hoping we can turn the clocks forward 4 years and get rid of them!!!

I'm all for putting a stop to this wartime arrangement to change the clocks twice a year.

I find it most discombobulating.

So much for change.

Many people will experience negative changes in mood and health due to less light particularly going home in the late afternoon early evenings.

The winter months already feel like living in the dark, this is quite unnecessary.

It is really a ridiculous anachronism from WW1 a different age.

Bin it, it's f***ing pointless.

Can't remember when but I'm sure we did that when I was a kid ie stay in the same time and not change.

i recommend those UV light things. I use mine to wake me in the morning and to illuminate my retina til 8pm approx.
It stops me turning into Mr Hyde.

I was looking at the TV programming schedule for Channel 4+1 at 2am and thanks to this archaic ritual of clocks changing I truly can't work out if I am going to be watching things on +2 or a net offset of zero, presumably making a Groundhog Day experience of Grand Designs or World's Biggest Bollock.

That said, I won't be awake and watching telly anyway and I just wanted to be angry about something.

It’s going to be dark until 2029 I’m afraid. It will start at the budget next month 🤦

Bin it, it's f***ing pointless.

I remember reading somewhere (some years ago now) that the daylight savings initiative saved industry (£) millions in energy related costs (heating / lighting) well the price of energy certainly hasn't gone down in recent years.

Mind you the amount of industry we have in this country now is certainly reduced.

Official Notice:

Due to to the current economic conditions the light at the end of the tunnel will be turned off for the foreseeable future.

The fact that all your electronic devices automatically change, makes it likely that the earlier Dawn will get less vampires than previously.

BST was originally the idea of a chap from Petts Wood called William Willett which also gave rise to the the local boozer called The Daylight Inn.
For all you quizzers out there, Mr Willett was also the great-great grandfather of Coldplay's Chris Martin although it's not thought that either of their songs Clocks or Daylight have any connection.................
