The changing of the clocks

[Zoobeef]

It's not discussed because it's a good thing and everyone likes it. Wait until later in the year and there will a massive discussion about it going back.

It's a st system they need to stop doing.

[groucho]

Please just leave it on GMT.

[Don]

Please just leave it on BST!

[Sump]

Must say, like being able to wash my car in the evenings.

[Zoobeef]

BST should be all year round or, maybe even better, GMT+1 in the winter(BST) and GMT+2 in the summer!

[Einion Yrth]

The sun should be at its highest in the sky around noon, that's GMT. Furthermore, as an early riser, the extra fortnight or so of getting up in the dark imposed upon me by the switch to BST really fecks me off.

The clock in my car is right again

Yes let's once again pander to the minority.

Let's see if the garage who have my Fiat this weekend return it with the clock changed.

That is service if they do.

No, I was just thinking that we should set it to be celestially correct. If you want the working day to be 8 to 4 to allow for your desire for longer evenings I could live with that. I could actually live with most arrangements that don't involve fecking around with the clocks twice a year.

Several clocks in the house are right again.

Me too, although all my watches that were right yesterday are not wrong. At least the watches that were wrong are now right again.

I don't bother changing the Porsche and TVR's clocks in winter. They're mostly summer cars anyway!

My car automatically changes time, no idea what kind of witchcraft that is.

How do you know you haven't owned it for four years?

Me too! It's too dark to see the MG clock in the autumn so I leave it be

[Dog Star]

It's a total ballache; I drive from West to East over the M62 every day. A while ago it was awful in the mornings - full on sun directly in your face - usually accompanied by spray. Easily adds 30 minutes to the journey as it causes the traffic to come to a stop at certain points, it's really bad.

However all was well because the sun got high enough that it wasn't just on the horizon.

But no! The clock change means that the sun is back in optimum dazzle position again It's been awful these last two days.

I've been using my car daily and didn't bother updating the clock. The worst part is that it is so easy to do. Instead of actually bothering I just remembered that the clock was an hour fast.

Properly confused my boss when we were out at a business meeting and he thought we were going to be late.

Why on earth would you need daylight at/beyond 11pm?
