Clocks go back!..

[KymKo]

Tonight at 1am BST the clocks go back..
This is becuase of daylight saving time ends.

This means we get 1 hour longer sleep!.
And this means the begining of...

Winter!.

Dont forget!

[David]

all mines do it automatically, wouldnt even have noticed :(

[j0rd]

Extra hour in work tonight, kill me

[Empired]

I might start waking up at the right time now then. Sleep's been ****** up since it's started being dark when I wake up.

[buttons]

ugh
its not even technically an extra hour in bed, messes up routine. feel sorry for people with kids though who need feeding/sleeping routine. it's silly.:@

[wixard]

I'M HAPPY

doesn't affect me at all and i'll feel more refreshed when i wake up in the morning

[MKR&*42]

i thought it happened last night and got confused :(.

grt.... this means it's gonna be as dark as hell when I get home from college nowadays.

[Chris]

Hate the clocks changing :( Luckily mines all automatic so I don't have to worry about changing it.

[Martin]

It's Scotland's fault that it happens ;| they campaigned for it because it was too dark in the mornings apparently and was a danger to cattle drivers, but the whole argument is stupid since there are far more accidents in dark evenings than dark mornings because it's obviously loads busier, so going back to "winter time" is totally inefficient all round. And it's Scotland that is still the opposition to changing it :P

yeah i know but i don't make the laws for Scotland yknow

[Cerys]

it's not really an extra hour considering we may get to sleep an hour earlier but we have to also wake up an hour earlier.

[Futz]

WOOO CAN PARTY EVEN LATER TONIGHT \m/

OH do you all mean an extra hour on just today?
cos i'm meaning in the long term ;P

[scottish]

no, everyone says you get an extra hour in your bed is always for today, doesn't mean that every day you get an extra hour lol...

[Empired]

It means the clocks reach 1am and then the hands go back to 0am again. We will have 1am twice tomorrow!!!

Edit: ok fine. 0am means midnight.

[Empired]

0am :|
Did I get it wrong :(
I've always been confused about it but that's just what my brother tells me ;s

[Empired]

lmao charlie at 0am

12am hunny.
I call it 0am?? What's wrong with that :L 0:00 isn't it

[Cerys]

no, everyone says you get an extra hour in your bed is always for today, doesn't mean that every day you get an extra hour lol...

Yes that's what I was pointing out...

[MKR&*42]

I call it 0am?? What's wrong with that :L 0:00 isn't it

Yes it's 00:00 but on a 12 hour clock its 12:00am. If you use 'am' you're mainly referring to the 12 hour clock not 24 hour (you wouldn't go "it's 15:00pm today").

But a lot of people are too slow to work out that 0:00 means midnight, therefore I felt it necessary to add the am.

Plus my clock always says 15:00pm

[scottish]

technically its 2am bst then goes to 1am gmt

not 1am/midnight.

Then you have an incredibly weird clock, none of my digital ones say that :P

[FlyingJesus]

yeah i know but i don't make the laws for Scotland yknow

Oh soz got confused because you look so much like Alex Salmond

[Judge Judy]

Unless I move back to Britain, or move to the southern states, I won't be moving a clock forwards or backwards again (for the foreseeable future that is).

Queensland don't do DST, yet the locals moan about it, even though they've said no to DST in three referendums. Topsy turvy land this is.

[Sian]

i'm going to guess all smartphones do it automatically, otherwise work is going to get screwed up.

[Plucked]

ooo this is great yayayay :D

[Kardan]

Pretty sure most of you are wrong, the clocks go back at 2am to 1am...

I said that!!!!!! no-one listened :@

[Lee]

I'm working from 00:00am through to 5:30am does the change mean I am working an hours and if so should I be paid for that extra hour?

[geo]

would never have noticed it, although apparently i get moodier on the first day says my dad um. :(

[Bails]

Mmmm.. Sleep it good :D

[the.games]

I have literally been running around the house changing all of the clocks, then I realised I put the clocks forward a hour instead of backwards. Jeez im a numpty :P

[Kardan]

You will be working an extra hour, and should be paid :) Make sure it says you've done 6 and a half hours :)

[KymKo]

[lawrawrrr]

Aha thanks for reminding me! Extra hours sleep, lovely.

[Sloths]

This means I have to do more maths to convert my timezone argh :'(
Mine went forward like a month ago..

Only if you consider subtracting an extra one from your current answer as more maths...

[wixard]

[wixard]

YOU'RE TOO LATE I'M WATCHING THE DARK KNIGHT RISES WITH GRAHAM AND IT'S TWO AND A HALF HOURS!

[peteyt]

I dunno if it's just me but as my clock, phone etc all automatically changes i Keep thinking it actually still needs changed. Right now its 05:50 but as I've not slept its basically like 7 - but I keep looking at my pc clock thinking oh I haven't changed it so it must be actually really 4:50 and then realising its not.

[Sian]

i had an extra hours sleep which meant I was actually chirpy at work. Madness. Thanks GMT!
