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

Yes I hate this time of year too, when sad sets in

Bugger that! I'm claiming an hour overtime!

I don't see what you could possibly have been red repped for?

Someone couldn't take a joke by the look of it It has, however been rectified by a member of the forum team

And what about staying on permanent summertime so that we have lighter evenings. When this was tried a number of years ago it was killed off because of Scottish objections. Well, Scotland now has its own parliament so, as far as I know, there's absolutely nothing stopping the UK parliament going for permanent summertime and the Scottish parliament then legislating for the current system to be retained in Scotland.

Ah time is elastic.

For instance when my husband goes out for an 'hour' and comes back 5 hours later.

OR when you take a peek at the bedside clock and decide to have another 5 minutes and then when you look again it's 55 minutes later.

Or it's the last lesson on a Friday afternoon and you find that 60 minutes lasts two hours.

I agree with those two statements.

Or just as bad, when you take a peek and see that it is 5 minutes before the alarm goes off and spend the next 5 minutes being miserable trying to make time slow to a crawl.

Who's staying up to see if time really goes backwards?
Groundhog day here we come

In our kitchen we've got one of those clocks controlled by the NPL radio time signal. I believe that what happens is that at 2am Sunday morning it will apparently go berserk and move 11 hours forward at a great rate of knots.

And why in the kitchen, I hear you ask. Well, either:
a) There was a free space on the wall there,
or
b) When I cook, I need precision timing.
