Makes me feel the same sense of confusion I've felt twice a year for my whole life, and feel like a numpty for not having managed to get my head around it without a bit of effort yet.

Also makes me glad that I don't work weekends anymore so at least it doesn't really matter that I'm confused and I don't wind up showing up two hours early like I did last year, somehow.

It means I have to go to bed an hour ealier to get the same amount of sleep before work tomorrow.

It also means that at least one person will probably be late.

Its been wrecking my head that the clocks haven't gone forward for the past few weeks. There's tons of light in the morning. The I remember that the clocks went back at the end of October. ~7 weeks before the winter solstice. Its now around 10 weeks after.

There's more daylight available in March when the clocks go forward than when they go back in October. 12hrs 48 minutes of sun today... 9hrs 57minutes in October: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/astronomy.html?n=78

We're being robbed of light I tell ya!

Why is this? No one I know has been able to answer it, other than a vague reference to political influences on the wiki article.

Ahhhhh go and feck !!!

This means the kids will be up an hour earlier from tonight which fecking means 5am start on a Sunday ,
There should be laws about this

Is that one hours less drinking time?????

The amount of daylight isn't just the issue. It's when it is, and the fact that now it's increasing, then it was decreasing.

The times used to be different, but there is a need to synchronise the change throughout the EU.
