Change your clocks!

Don't forget to put your clocks forward at 02.00, daylight saving time begins. Unless you're in the US or Canada that is.

Thanks! nearly missed it

Yeah scrub that!!! So, be prepared for the 25th, THEN put your clocks forward.

Hey it wasn't me, it was 'er indoors confusing me! But ultimately she was right, US & Canada's clocks went forward at the weekend. At least every one will have plenty of time to prepare for the moment now

you had us both going then haha - looking forward to the longer days ahead!

Thanks, I missed an hour beauty sleep, and Carole says I need every bit I can get!

Spring forward. Fall back.

I see how you got your username.....Clever that!

So the time has finally come! At 2.00am don't forget to put your clocks and watches 1 hour forward, or if you're heading off to Greece you'd better make it 2 hours forward.

i hate setting my alarm for 2am to put the clocks forward, why cant they do it during the day

Technically you can of course do at at what ever time you want, but officially it happens at 2.00am.

Is it really happening this time Jase?

It's really happening, brace yourself!

Wow! is that an old drill?

They don't build 'em how they used to that's for sure.

We altered our time pieces this morning. Not sure if the dog can tell the time so didn't want him looking at the digital clock and thinking it was time for his 7.00am walk when to me it would still have been 6.00am. He gets taken for his first walk then to enable all the cats to come in for their breakfast, otherwise he would be eating all their meat.

The idea was first advocated seriously by London builder William Willett (1857-1915) in the pamphlet, "Waste of Daylight" (1907), that proposed advancing clocks 20 minutes on each of four Sundays in April, and retarding them by the same amount on four Sundays in September. As he was taking an early morning a ride through Petts Wood, near Croydon, Willett was struck by the fact that the blinds of nearby houses were closed, even though the sun was fully risen. When questioned as to why he didn't simply get up an hour earlier, Willett replied with typical British humor, "What?" In his pamphlet "The Waste of Daylight" he wrote:

Interesting Peter

So the hour difference is down to Bill !

All the best

I put my clocks back an hour instead, and had an extra 2 hours lie in - bliss
