Clocks go forward one hour tonight

Post by Wink Wink »

Remember to move your clocks forward one hour tonight.

That's one hour less sleep for us all.

I wait until i wake up before putting the clocks forward, that way you don't lose any sleep, you just lose an hour of sunday, no big loss.

This is a pain twice a year. It was probably ok when everyone only had a couple of mechanical clocks and watches, but with all the elecrtronic items it is now neccessary to change, it's a nuisance. Perhaps it would be better if we went forward two hours. That would bring us in line with the rest of Europe for the majority of the year, and would mean it stayed light in June until almost 11p.m., later in the North.

Yes, so is mine. Usually ok but not this time. Had to turn the power off and it did show the correct time when re-connected, but it's not just videos.
