3.00am tomorrow morning. Put your clocks back one hour before bed.

Just did a quick count-up - 15 time devices to change in our place (not including computers, which will change themselves). And there's always a couple I miss...

Nah. You have to get up at 3am to put your clock back an hour. Then an hour later you have to get up at 3am to put your clock back an hour. Then an hour later you have to get up at 3am to put your clock back an hour. And then an hour later you have to get up at 3am to put your clock back another fucking hour.

I'd forget the ride if I was you, you'll be knackered.

Depends what you mean by daylight savings.

However, spring forward, fall back is a good way of remembering the watch/clock settings.

My Mrs finishes work at 3am.

She's just been told she will need to see 3am twice before she can stop :yawn:

The wife, bless her, got up during the night for whatever reason and happened to change some clocks, not knowing that I did some last night before going to bed. So we have three different times in the house at the moment. The only good thing is the two we can't change are now correct.

I am sure this has been discussed at length on here, but what's the point of all this?

It's lighter in the mornings for the early starters.

Doesn't make a lot of difference in the North, but way down south it's a big help :yes:

For me leaving for work at 05:20, the last thing I need is a low sunrise to blind my view of ther road ahead :no:

Bet she doesn't get paid for it either. I know I won't.

But you get paid the extra hour on the other end, yes?


Like the old-time navy, used to get an extra days pay when crossing the dateline, and an extra days work the other way.

No we don't. We lose an hour and don't get paid for last night's hour.

Hmmm, seems there's a natural justice in the other way, and I suspect almost all of the rest of the country's wage earners get paid as I've suggested.

Do you have a suggestion box, there?

No. I just fight with the policy makers every year. The roll their eyes and I ball my fists belligerently.

It's important to have traditions in the workplace.

It is indeed.

I'd be developing a tradition of falling violently ill an hour before knock-off in such a case.

There's a vast number of entertaining traditions possible if one applies one's self.
