British Summer Time Ends

Cleoriff — Fri, 28 Oct 2016 07:15:58 GMT

Sunday 30th October marks the end of BST. In other words you need to remember to put your clocks back an hour at 2am. An hour extra in bed

Lovely, thanks for the reminder @Cleoriff! I'm usually quite bad at remembering to do this in time! Which is not good if the next day is a working day.

Can't wait for the extra sleeping time!

I have an old fashioned diary @Marjo It always tells you those dates.

I tend to remember the rule....

Spring Forward (clocks forward)

Fall Back (Fall being an American term...but the clocks go back)

I've been waiting for that hour in bed back since it was snatched away in spring

@Cleoriff I hadn't heard that rule before. Useful!

Just bumping this as a reminder as my husband had forgotten! He has to be up and out early tomorrow. I said don't forget the clocks go back. Good job I told him... else he would have been there an hour before anyone else

Solve that problem in one easy move: just remove the tv aerial

Or watch only BBC?

Now I realised why I felt awake and energetic like a normal person instead of a zombie like usual at such an early hour this morning!

Well I do my clocks Sunday morning normally ... but ... I got caught out last night as I couldn't understand why the time on my phone was different to the time on the bedroom clock/radio

& this morning I thought great I'll be in early for a Sunday roast at the 'Male Hen' & Bottle pub = wrong again so made do with Eggs Benedict at Wetherspoons then off to one of the new micro pubs in town = Early Doors for a bevvie & chat
