Yes indeed, I was in work at 7am because I forgot the clocks changed. You would think that the fact the Surbiton to Waterloo train was empty and the streets quiet would have given me a clue, but oh no it did not, What gave me a clue as the coffee stand in Marylebone Station was not open yet.

Bugger, guess I have to go home early to balance out the hours now.

If it hadn't been for the fact that I have a radio clock that sets itself from the Rugby Atomic Clock then we might have been blissfully unware too, as the power was out when we woke up on Sunday morning and didn't come back until late afternoon.

My alarm clock is set by the atomic clock as well, otherwise I wouldn't have known. Handy things.

I left a mates house thursday night, (it was gone mid-night on a school night) got home to find l'd gained an hour. Every clock in his house was still summertime. Transpires he hadn't seen anyone for four days!

Hahah, classic story, kinda like all those films when the character is the last person in the world.

Auto-update on the PC is very handy
