Is Everone Ready For The Clocks Going Back One Hour ?

[SparklyKid]

Don't see the point really, sun comes up, sun goes down, does not matter what the fingers on the clock point at.

[spathiphyllum]

I'm ready I'm ready :)

[Mamyalynne]

Yes, ready.

There is talk of the clock-changing being abandoned, since the notion that started it - extra daylight for farmers, seems less of a major issue in modern farming that it was decades ago.

I would be delighted to see it go, I loathe going round changing all the clocks, especially the car ones.

[Patsy33]

Yes thank you.

[pixie374]

Yes- I'm not sure there has ever been much of a point. It doesn't affect daylight hours anyway.

[SparklyKid]

I do it in stages, car clock first then clock on mantle piece. The rest can wait a week or so.

Quite true SK, if your sole aim in daily life is ensuring that your chemical toilet is emptied and your pen is primed with vitriol - for those of us with busier lives it does make a difference - a profoundly negative one when it's now dark at 5pm instaed of 6pm

The only time i trust is "the computers" AKA my phone or laptop. It knows you know...

[SparklyKid]

I do take the opportunity of replacing the batteries, mostly AA.

I'll be nearly dark at this time, on Sunday. :-)

All my clocks and watches are radio-controlled....so adjust themselves.
And so does the one in the car....by magic, I assume.

I do like this website,page whatever,

Six months of the clock in my car being an hour out!

Thought it was something to do with war?

Yes.. but is that "the" time? A philosophical question.

It's not a question of when.. But where!

[SparklyKid]

It is a strange thing to do in any event. I thought the school kids in Scotland had an issue.Why not start school at 10 instead of 9 then, all too confusing for me.

[hereIam]

Yes looking forward to it, quite like the dark nights.

[Buenchico]

We Suffolk folk have to remember to put our clocks back (to the 1950s) every time we cross the Norfolk border ;-)

I like the change and want to keep it. I remember when it didn't for a year or 2 (70s 80s??) and stayed on BST - Scottish kids were going to school in the dark, not light until 0900.
