    Anyone else an hour late for something today? We showed up at the brother in law's an hour late for a BBQ, no harm done but it got me thinking there must be some big cock ups at this time of year.

    Whats your clock going forward Fail?

    I put the clocks back an hour by mistake.

    Ended up going to bed an hour after I got up, felt a bit weird but normal to back now.

    I think we need to stop moving clocks back and forward. Pointless if you ask me.

    It makes sens though that children don't have to walk to school in the dark during winter mornings. Bit safer and all that.

    Forward half an hour every year? Sure it'd be getting dark at midday in about 10 years time!

    not if it went back half an hour every year:rolleyes:
    instead of going forward and back an hour every year - half an hour would do, people would only be half put out;)
