I'd forgotten about that too so thanks for reminding us! Because I'm stupid and can't get my head around it - does that mean 12am becomes 1am or 11pm?

BRILLIANT!

Misunderstood. 25-10-2008 05:15 PM

I was confused with this last year cos I was up at the time that it changed and felt like I was re-living the hour and that felt wrong so I changed my watch and clocks back and forth, was on the phone at the same time and the other person just as genuinely confused.
Lol.

Popple 25-10-2008 05:42 PM

WHy do they have to do this its so annoying lol I am going to awake stupid early now for weeks tut lol

*grumbles*

lydia. 25-10-2008 06:10 PM

HopeRises 25-10-2008 06:31 PM

haha i've been up when it's changed before aswell, it's so odd does feel very like time traveling (or what I imagine time traveling to be like)

Brighter mornings but darker nights, I dislike GMT.
BST>GMT

Drama 25-10-2008 06:43 PM

Thanks for the reminder. I could do with an extra hour of sleep.
As if I don't sleep enough already though!

yeah it is odd, it didn't work right with my brain lol. Goes to show how much we rely on the time.

englishrose 25-10-2008 08:51 PM

The clocks changed in the past to give the farmers light in morning

MammaMia 25-10-2008 09:07 PM

It's not JUST england, it's most of the world that goes back one hour ;)

I forgot bout this til I saw my friends facebook status telling me we had extra weekend, I like the dark nights when I'm at home but I don't like them when I have to walk home from my college placement at 6 o'clock and it's going to be really dark.

Maybe she was just disregarding the rest of the union?

whirlpools 26-10-2008 03:13 PM

this is a daft question... but is the United Kingdom a country?

Zedebee 26-10-2008 03:15 PM

The UK is a country, constituting England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

The constituent parts of the UK are not countries.

Harley's Dad 26-10-2008 04:23 PM

Own up everyone who got it wrong this morning! I'm proud to say I didn't, even though I'm seriously doubtful as to the value of it. Who are these bloody politicians and Whitehall mandarins who decide these things and impose them on us?

It is reputed to have started after an accident with schoolkids years ago in Stornoway in the Western Isles, which the Jeremy Vine show earlier this week claimed to have no foundation at all. We have a cottage in the Western Isles and through much of the winter there is 18 hours of darkness and only 6 hours of daylight; so, unless the kids have extraordinarily short school hours, they're going to either arrive or depart in darkness anyway. Who are these people, who get paid by us as taxpayers, who devise these obscure forms of nonsense which then impact on the 99% who don't live that far north anyway.


Tony (who loves the Far North, but has yet to see the Northern Lights - I wonder just how many RYLers have?)

Stellata 26-10-2008 04:30 PM

I remembered!

But I'm p'd off as our kitchen lights have bust, my flatmates are away, I can't reach the light that's bust, and it'll be dark soon.
*digs out candles*

Silver Phoenix 26-10-2008 04:37 PM

That's not good, have you got a chair or something you can stand on?

Stellata 26-10-2008 04:39 PM

I do, but even so my arms aren't long enough.
