Being relatively sensible today so here goes.

Don’t forget that the clocks go back one hour on Sunday 25th at 02:00.

Happy extra hour in bed.

Oh but dark earlier in the mornings. Why can't they leave the clocks the same all year round instead of changing twice a year!

And dark so early in the evenings. I find it very depressing. Soon, we'll be going to work in the dark and coming home in the dark. I hate it!!!!

Ever noticed ever year when the clocks change a lot of questions are asked why does it not stay as it is etc. This year will be no different!

Well J

I am going to be another person who asks why does this keep happening, we just get used to things and then they go and change them, but I would never have remembered if it wasnt on the board, so well done

Hippo, Was there really any call for that remark in message 21. It really is a bit childish!



Remember to put your clocks back.

Hipps

Ref message 21

'it wont bother the Sad Crusader he doesn't know what year it is never mind what time.

Poor old fellow!!!'

What was the point with that message?

DC has not even posted on this thread, Is this a personal vendetta?

Sort yourself out Hipps.

Well, having being woken up at 6am (now 5am) due to gunfire, I guess one group of people are taking advantage of the early lighter mornings.



No more walking in the mountains now on a sunday, I am like to be used as target practice!!!
