    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...

    No - you have to do it at 3am or it doesn't work.

    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.

    No, it doesn't START tomorrow, it STOPS tomorrow!
    Clocks go back 1 hour (spring forward, fall back)

    Yay! It means it will be light when I get up for work on Monday!

    My Mrs finishes work at 3am.

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

    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

    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

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