Bugger, I'd been thinking (hoping) it was the 21st. Can anyone tell me why they go forward _after_ the equinox?

And yet they go back in Autumn at the end of October - again, after the equinox (a whole month after). Why isn't it symmetrical?

(I have a feeling I experience this bitter disapointment every year)

It'll just be based on seunset/rise times, rather than the equinox, I assume.

So we loose an hour's kip on the 29th?

Buxxer! I have to get up at 5am to get to the airport, so i'll in effect be getting up at 4am now.

It's as good as Christmas, for me - seriously.

Let the summer begin!
