Daylight Saving Day (Canada)

[Tilly2]

Just noticed on my RSPB calendar that it's Daylight saving day on Sunday for Stewey. What do you do with all your watches and clocks, Stewey? Back or forward?

[tonyav]

It's surely forward isn't it.

[Tilly2]

I should think so, Yont. I just want to know how Stewey is going to cope with all his clocks and watches.

In most of Canada Daylight Saving Time begins at 2:00 a.m. local time on the second Sunday in March. On the first Sunday in November areas on Daylight Saving Time return to Standard Time at 2:00 a.m. local time. When Daylight Saving Time begins turn your clocks ahead one hour. At the end of Daylight Saving Time turn your clocks back one hour.

Spring forward, Fall back . (Fall being the US word for Autumn) is how I remember it.
You put clocks forward in Spring no matter where in the World you are!

He'll be spending most of the day altering the time on them.

Saskatchewan effectively uses Daylight Saving Time all year round (because it's 1 hour ahead of where, geographically, it should be in the winter and doesn't change the clocks for the summer). Er, that assumes that you're not in Denare Beach or Creighton, of course. They're both in Saskatchewan but they don't do what the rest of the province does!

Similarly, British Columbia does have Daylight Saving Time unless you happen to be in Fort St. John, Charlie Lake, Taylor or Dawson Creek, where they don't!

I do wish people wouldn't muck about with the clocks

[shoota]

Me too Hummer, it's time it stopped.

[tonyav]

Bloody hell, Chris, thats complicated.

[stewey]

Tilly, by the time I've finished putting them all ahead it's time to start reversing the process:)

[humbersloop]

long overdue, alarmingly so

I wish the clocks were left alone. It sounds ridiculous but I rise from bed an hour later in the Summer than the Winter...... 6.30am in the Winter and 7.30 in the Summer. Being retired, my body clock has remained constant from days when I regularly rose at 5.30 every morning to travel 60 miles to work. (Bus and Train)

How many of you can remember....Double British Summertime...when clocks in the UK were advanced two hours. ?? Yes it was during the second world war.

Hans.

[Tilly2]

I am now, very confused.

[shoota]

But gorgeous with it!

[tonyav]

Was the double British summer time used so it gave the farmers more daylight, maybe for getting the crops in.

Bringing in the sheaves
Bringing in the sheaves
We are all rejoicing
Bringing in the sheaves

[Tilly2]

Thick, confused and gorgeous. What more could a man want?

[tonyav]

Yilly, you could have been a land gal during the war, you know the songs.

[stewey]

This time thingy is an enigma to Tilly:)

[Tilly2]

Yont, I'm not that old.
How do you know the songs?
