It is a case of lights out and clocks forward this weekend as summer time officially commences and Earth Hour is marked.

Summer time officially begins at 1am on Sunday and members of the public are reminded to remember to put their clocks and watches forward by one hour at that time.

What are these clocks and watches you speak of ?

Oh you mean computers, mobile phones, DVD recorders and Central heating timers (if theyre not smart enough to do it automatically).

Stupid bollicking around if you ask me. They should pick one timezone (dont really care which although UTC would be the most sensible) and stick to it.

Spring forward,
Fall back

The only way I can remember how it works.

Years back , just before the clocks were due to go forward I got my Dad one of those battery operated radio controlled wall clocks that adjust their time automatically.

It looked just like any wall clock and I explained that there was no need for him to move the hands himself when the clocks go back or forward, that they pick up signals from the UK and so they will know when to go forward and back. He kinda laughed but I said trust me.

The next day my mam told me that when I went out he phoned her and said that I was on drugs :pac:

When eventually he did see the minute hand automatically start to fly around on the clock, when it was adjusting the time forward by the hour, he nearly fell off his chair. Was convinced then that I had some remote control and was operating it.
