Thanks for that heads up Wayne, I knew it was coming soon, didn't realise it was THIS soon.

Re: Clocks go back tonight

Think also of those who do work nights - I am not on tonight thankfully but my colleagues will be and will be working an extra hour for nothing.

Re: Clocks go back tonight

Thanks for reminding me. I think Windows XP does it it's self, so all I have to worry about it my watch, my alarm clock, my wall clock and my mobile.

It's always hell in my house changing all the clocks, there must be about 15 different things with clocks that need changing.

It's only my watch that will need to be changed - my other clocks are either radio controlled or change themselves anyway

I thought this was an amusing story

@paulyoung666 - it looks like we only need to go back one hour, not two

Not heard that, plus that wouldn't work because most of Europe is one hour ahead not one hour behind.

Re: Clocks go back tonight

As much as i love my bed and an hour extra is tempting - id rather give up the hour cos i hate this time of year - once the clocks go back its a reminder that winter is just around the corner

i hate driving home when its dark nights all cold and horrible - roll on summer asap!
