[jonclox]

 
Yups its that ime of year again when rail timetable leap backwards about an hour an we get an extra hours sleep in the morning  and it gets darker and we loose an hour each evening.
Saturdays the evening to reset your hourglasses and burry yourself in the deep dark winter

Well I often wear 'thermal draws' in the winter they are warmer than just 'winter draws'

YAY for autumn and winter time!!! 

No more stupid blazing sun, no more silly-hot sweltering days where you're too heat-knackered to do anything, and all the noisy bluddy kids b*gger off back into their houses and give the rest of us some peace. What's not to like?? 

Can't stand summer, never have

Crikey I never knew you had daylight savings time back home, we have it in Oz and just changed the clocks for summer all except where I live in Queensland we stay on normal time, causes confusion plus.

Crikey, Paul. Where the heck is Sierrashire - obviously not in the UK with weather like that As for the rest of it - I totally agree Mind you, the best thing about summer is the light mornings/evenings. It really is a pain going out/coming back in the dark and mowing down a few cyclists with no lights/dark clothing and slapping another sticker on the side of the car We've got that awful evening to look forward to very soon when kids knock on your door and you wish you had a water cannon/88mm attached to the letter box. If they like it so much, move to the USA. Oh poo - this has developed into a rant. I might have to move it to the Angry Thread

[Sprintex]

They don't knock on my door, not when there's a clear notice on it saying "NO TRICK OR TREAT - Police will be called if any nuisance is caused." 

Not my rotten kids, don't see why I should be expected to feed them sweets

With the clocks going back I have one big problem.

No one tells my bowels they can have an extra hour in bed

If you get a trick or treater you have two choices...either have some chocolate covered brussel sprouts for a treat or ask for a trick,not had one yet that can do a double back somersault.

I love this time of year, and especially the cold.  It's the school holidays, so I've been going up the school where I work in my shorts.  Partly because I don't feel the cold, but mainly because the teachers insist on the heating being on all of the time.  I hope it snows heavily again so I can try my new Crampons that I bought.

[Sprintex]

I'm not the only one then!! 

At least in cold weather you can put on extra layers to get warm, or turn the heating up - in summer you can only cool down so much, unless like me you invested in an air-conditioner to sit in front of when it's 28 degrees outside 

Just love a cold crisp morning

28 degrees and you reckon it is hot???  I am writing this with it 35 outside and climbing to a forecast of 39 (which going be the last few days it will reach around 3, 3.30 this afternoon).  And Summer doesn't officially start until Tuesday.

[Tank]

I have air con too Sprintex!  One of those portable units for those unbearable days of 18 degrees plus.     No, it usually goes on at about the late 20's, but I dread knowing I have to work above 18 degrees.  I've worked in -22 degrees C for the last ten years, and I think I've adapted to it.

I believe the daylight saving was introduced over here during WW1 and has become 'tradition'.
The French now want to make Paris the prime meridian and change to a single time zone for all of the EU 
Greenich has been the prime meridian for centaries now and rewriting the worlds maps/locations/positionings etc would cause chaos as all countries accept and rely on Greewich as a base line.
The Scots back last year even said they would refuse any time change so chaos will reign over here if so

Here is a map showing who does, who did and who does not save daylight 



cheers John.
