Clocks go back

'Spring Forward' and 'Fall Back' - that's how to remember when to change the clocks

Now can someone please remind me, is it done on Sunday morning (so you wake up on Sunday and it has changed) or Monday morning (wake up on Monday and it has changed)?

It should be done on Sunday morning. That way you avoid doing what my mum once did, turning up for church an hour early and wondering where everyone else is.

The question that has to be asked is did summertime actually start ?

It is that time of year....remember to set your clocks back Saturday night ready for that extra hour on Sunday morning. Sunday 25 October 02:00 BST is the official time for those who are counting.

Is that an American way of saying it, "fall" is their way of expressing autumn.

I usually remember it as forward at the fore end of the year and back at the back end of the year.

are there any other ways of remembering ??.

In Canada fall and autumn are used interchangeably and it is an easy rhyme to remember.

Just as an aside:

'Fall' is an old English description, it was used commonly in Britain in the C17th but fell out of use. The British in the Colonies kept using the word 'Fall'.

So, if anything (and unusually for the 'Merkins:Razz) they actually are using the correct word!

Does this mean it gives the Vampires of Portgower more time to wander in the darkness!!!!

Great!
Lauren will be up an hour earlier tommorrow morning (sods law)and I will be stumbling round the house all day not knowing whether the time is right on the clock Im looking at or if it is an hour behind or fast!

It will be dark at night when coming home from work and will soon be dark when going to work....

I hate the clocks jumping forward and back!

I hate it too!! Didnt matter about Athrun getting up an hour earlier because he decided he wanted to play at 3am! (he chooses to do this once a month) and i only got to bed at 2am. :~(

What's every ones thoughts on that comment " Scotland should stay in tundra time while the rest of the UK go onto European time".

Me personally think the BST should stay, no going back and forth UK wide.

Same here. I despise walking to work and then walking home in the dark. Doesn't help that my shortcut to cut the 2 hour walk home to 1 hour means i have to go through areas such as alongside the canal in the pitch dark. :(

I'm starting to wonder if it's back or forwards the clocks go tonight. I'd better do both, just to be safe.

The catchphrase is actually "spring forward, fall back."

I am a week late, with my vehicle that is. A couple of times this week I have been caught out with the wrong time as I have not worked out (or can't be bothered to change the clock in the vehicle). :confused

Aw well, it'll be right come next spring.:lol:
