Utter confusion, I thought the clocks went back Sunday night / Monday morning. So with half our clocks changed and half not, what time is it today? 🤷♂️
Surely the pc or phone you're on will tell you 😜
But otherwise it's spring forward, fall back. And it was 1am it changed. Not sure why 1am though.
Thanks to HS2 tunneling works, for me this morning it was…

OK, nobody tell him and we'll wait for the "why are some of my clocks 2 hours out from the others" thread tomorrow 🙂
Why do we still do it? I can see bow it made sense years ago but just seems daft nowadays.
Chico time!
It happens twice a year but always a surprise to Medzy. Always an hour early or late for his shift, didn’t matter if it was days or nights, woe betide you in the next fifteen hours if you even glanced in his direction with a twinkle in your eyes!
Time after time
Excellent, clock in the van is right again.

1am GMT or 1am BST?

This!
Nightshift so only 11 instead of 12 hours lastnight.
It all counts
I'm on days so lost an hour between shifts 🤮 Alarm went off at 4:30, or 3:30 in old money 😩
Have you woken up in an old folks home?
Anyway, the hour difference means garden breakfast has resulted in me not being able to feel my butter spreading hands, I might give it an hour and try again
Aye police Scotland(well old L&B) told officers to go in at 4pm for start of night shift instead of 5pm, no give away time for them.

Just when you think we’d already achieved Peak STW, someone tops it 😂
@kryton57 - my Citizen dive watch is now correct as I didn't change it in the Autumn.
Now then ... what watch for Easter Sunday breakfast with our visiting family members, who aren't into watches. There will be yoghurt, granola, fruit and a range of breakfast bread products. G-Shock, dive, dress or pseudo-flieger?
The winter beard has come off (via a monkey tail for two days because the unbalance upsets my wife).
What I don't understand is why BST is 7 months? Why not 6? That upsets me.
my butter spreading hands,
We should have a whip round and buy RD some cutlery.

it was artisanal sourdough but a massive fail as I didn't make it in my shed or bake it in a home made Dutch oven buried in the garden 😢

FTFY
I'm in Belgium this weekend just to add to the confusion.
My missis at breakfast said, 'do the clocks go backwards here too?'
No love, just forwards, europe is actually 3.5 weeks ahead of the UK. 🤣

How is that going to work in winter are the night shift going in an hour late leaving no cops on the street for an hour ?
My Dad knows the date and direction. I know neither but thankfully the internet and gps devices don't need me to do a thing.
******* stupid nonsense. We should just use BST year round.
Time marches on never ending,
Time keeps its own time,
Here we stand at beginning,
And then goes passing us by
Not sure why 1am though.
Because that the first whole hour where its unlikely to cause any real confusion (unless in the Kyrton household!). If they change at 1am then that put them back to midnight and I imagine that has potential to confuse systems (and people) as to which day it is. 2am change puts them back to 1am so clearly still the same day as the change
The only thing I know is that we will have an hour less rain today!
Spent £80 taking the family to Stonehenge yesterday, total waste of money, couldn’t get near the stones as they were putting the clocks forward.
I helpfully went over and put all my elderly relative's clocks back an hour yesterday. In the dog house today.
In the dog house today.
Strange place to have a clock. Is it a watch dog?

That would be difficult? Are you allowed to change your time zone?
stupid nonsense. We should just use BST year round.
I believe this was tried in the 70s, getting up 2-3hrs before sunrise was really hard for a lot of people and morning rush hour in full darkness was difficult and dangerous. IIRC daylight savings time does save lives.
