Methinks that the extra hour of daylight will just enable us to see the rain for longer at the moment, but, on the positive side, I'm sure things will warm up a bit over the next few weeks.
:hmmm:
It's only an extra hour of daylight for those of us that don't surface before about 7 am. Me I surface about 9.30am. Got a radio controlled watch and some of the clocks, so not much faffing about setting the change.
I look forward to the extra hour of daylight in the evening.
As for the warm and sultry weather.......not yet. Just been to B&Q . Got cold, blown away and very wet !
The problem I have is the smart arse ones that put themselves forward, leaving me trying to work out which ones are correct...
Pal of mine had an alarm clock that locked to MSF Rugby. We were in Portugal, which is on GMT. In the middle of the night, his alarm clock re locked to a German time signal and he ended up getting up an hour early.

Is that how they get the towels on the sun loungers?

And now I am relieved... :D

:laughabovepost:
me too ! I can gain an hour between the bedroom and the kitchen, easy.
When I was well into amateur radio we worked on GMT (UTC) all the err time,
so I made a clock with two hour hands, the black one indicated GMT and the white one indicated (un-)civil time , , , or was it the other way round , , , so I eventually put a 'G' on one hand and a 'B' on the other !!
Which day of the week in July have the 'experts' decided will be 'SUMMER' for 2015...?
(Hat, Coat, - sorry can't go out the door - no umbrella, and it's raining; heavily)
Well it seems that some members were worried about health problems and who was suffering with them.
That's why the thread has the title it has. It got you looking and reading and maybe a couple of you did remember to alter your clocks.
I have to admit though that I overslept dispite all my warnings :-[
Not me, Jon :no:
I was up early to watch Suzi the F1 from Malaysia.

Ah yes indeed, but did I mention somewhere that I was into astronomy (UTC) as well, :) some of us remember the battle of the meridians and so obstreperously insist on using Greenwich :)
de G8A** and G4O**, dah-di-dah
( I nolonger give my full calls in open media, ever since that stupid national society published the full call book with all our detailed addresses on CDrom and then sold it/them, with no "by your leave" ! )
Point of order 'onerable members,
has anyone noticed how few tick any more ?
Our house is quite silent.
Another thing, will our grandchildren's children even notice that the clocks change, when all will eventually be radio controlled. (or net controlled!)
Hmmm, or, there will be much nostalgia at stonehenge no doubt when they all gather to celebrate their ancestors ritual of going round the dwelling places changing all the time-pieces :laugh:
Either that or some insomniac will notice strange goings-on at 2am intermittently and will blame aliens :)
I must admit to looking forward to the 20hours a day clock with its 10 day week and 5 week month and of course the 10 month year :claphappy: :claphappy:
We remembered and up early to watch the Cricket.
Shame the Aussies won (OK - I'll duck now) !

You're right the only clock that ticks is in the car (inset in the Walnut Dash)!
Even our Central Heating programmer changed on its own, and I have never noticed that before.
Dah-Di-Dah
