    While just watching the weather on the 6 o clock evening news, they reminded us of the time changing tonight, but instead of saying forward they put "clocks go back one hour tonight" someone confused in RTE again. :rolleyes:

    If RTE say it it must be true, clocks back 1 hour.

    They also messed up the last frame, where they showed a forecast for Sunday's Weather and a completely different one for 'Tomorrow'

    Nice work all round :)

    They never get the weather right (except the first half where they tell you what today was like) so why should they get the time right.

    Lots of Monkeys in RTE, but they are getting paid considerably more than peanuts, sadly.

    Less forecast & more review.

    On that point I noticed recently on BBC they just call it The Weather now.

    IMO get the clocks forward/backwards is actually a big mistake. Could not one of the 2000 people employed at Montrose check google?
