time change

no one notice clocks are changing tonight and losing 1 hour sleep:D:eek:

Spanish Eyes · 24-03-2018 10:52pm

I changed everything time related at lunch time. I haven't a clue what time it's supposed to be now, but at least when I wake up in the morn it will be correct!

Should stay Summer Time all year round. The sales of anti depressants would tumble over the bleak Winter and S.A.D. would be no more.

I've conveyed that to my toddlers and they said they'd hold off on the crying by an hour in the morning...

If on your phone they change automatically....

So if you think it's the time it isn't but it is but it isn't because it is the time you thought it was so then it's actually not but it is so you are all confused.....

One hour less in work..
Absolute result..

B.A._Baracus · 25-03-2018 2:40am

Just means you'll wake up one hour later tomorrow.

ironwalk · 25-03-2018 6:58am

Hate: waking up at 6.30 only for smart*rse child to tell me it's 7.30.

Love: bright mornings. Can get the dog walked before work without wearing a Christmas tree worth of reflectors and lights.

If they usually wake up at 6.30 , it was 7.30 this morning. That was the story in our house anyway! They get the same amount of sleep.

No big deal.

An hour less for adults is no big deal. An early night tonight will fix that.

My lad woke at 7.30 as normal so we had an hour less, and I'm feeling it now!

25-03-2018 5:14pm

I normally am up around 8 or 9 but couldn't get up til 11 today. thrown me completely off for the day

Bleating Lamb · 26-10-2019 9:48pm

Do mobile phones automatically change back an hour at 2am tonight or do you need to change it yourself?

Have an iPhone 5s.....intend on getting up to watch Rugby Semi Final in morning but don’t want to mistime the alarm clock:)

26-10-2019 9:50pm

Everything will change by itself bar the clock on the wall. Unless you have one of the ones that does, and then that will too.

I thought we stopped performing this idiocy anyway?

Graces7 · 27-10-2019 4:31am

A huge advantage of being old is that I can get up, sleep, go to bed, eat, when I please. regardless of what the clock says. Bliss....

When I was still doing craft fairs, there is always a three day event in Killarney this weekend.

So one year on the Sunday, I left home early to go to mass in the cathedral. raid tesco, before going in.

Thought they must have changed mass time .. almost no one around.. how dare they.. pootled up to Tesco and it was at the checkout I saw the clock on the wall and realised I had totally forgotten the time change.. Entertained folk with that, especially for thinking I was right and everyone else was wrong..
life is much much easier now...

27-10-2019 6:41am

It's a great pity nobody informed the toddlers and children of Ireland of this idiocy. Try telling them that it's now really 5:30am so they can go back to sleep for another hour, and see their reaction.

shesty · 27-10-2019 6:49am

I am with you.It drove me nuts before I had kids, and I loathe it with a passion since I had kids.
Pointless exercise.
And the idea that we might be rejecting getting rid of it just because we can't be different to the UK makes me quite angry.....

blade1 · 27-10-2019 6:56am

Ye should have thought of that before ye had kids :pac:

I welcome the hour extra.
No joke working in the dark every morning.

No joke working in the dark every evening either. Dark at 4:30 in december is ridiculous. It's getting dark by lunchtime.

shesty · 27-10-2019 8:39am

Ah I hate it with or with out kids.Can't stand it getting dark at 4pm every day.I am one of those people who suffers through the lack of daylight in the winter.

You're meant to put the clock back one hour. Not two years.

Couldn’t disagree more. Summer Time is a pejorative term. There will be exactly the same of daylight, no matter how you set your clock. Where we are now is closer to our natural day, with roughly the same amount of daylight either side of noon or mid day. It’s Summer Time that is the aberration. If we kept that all year round, we’d multiply the number of early morning road accidents in winter.

Well then get out of bed earlier!

The easy thing is saying stop the idiocy. The hard thing is deciding which time zone to settle on, the one we had yesterday, or the one we have today. I would stick with the one we had yesterday.

Fr Tod Umptious · 27-10-2019 9:35am

I've said it a million times on these daylight savings time threads.

If we had all year "summer time" after a couple of years people would be begging to go back to changing the clocks because it being dark until close on 10am in the morning will be insufferable.

And some people will disagree with them. And some other people will say change the clocks in February. It will be difficult any which way.

NIMAN · 27-10-2019 9:42am

Lets change it by half an hour permanently then!

We're not changing time zones.

It's whether to use GMT permanently or GMT summer time permanently

But yeah I'd stick with summer time

dxhound2005 · 27-10-2019 9:50am

For anyone doing business with America, there is 4 hour difference between here and New York at present. America will change their clocks on 3 November, making it 5 hours.

GMT is fixed. It is whether to stay with GMT, or deviate by one hour, or some other change permanently.

And dangerous, frost sets in late and clears after dawn. You’d be putting tens of thousands of drivers onto roads an hour earlier in the morning than pertains at the moment. You’d wipe out the savings in road deaths made over the past several years.
