Title: Just a Gentle Reminder: Summertime (DST) Began Today!
Post by: DaveMorton on March 11, 2012, 13:17:19 PM
I'm not sure if you blokes on the island observe Summertime (Daylight Saving Time), but on the off chance that you do (and given that the "powers that be" can't leave things alone, and keep moving the date around), I thought I'd give a bit of a hint that the clocks about the house may need adjusting. :P

(I only knew because my computer reminded me a few minutes ago!) :LOL:

I thought we had missed the clocks changing  :Head-Slap:, had to check. 

For the UK the clocks go forward on the 25th of March this year.

Thanks for the reminder Dave.

Like I said, the "powers that be" keep mucking about with the dates. :D

  Changed the clocks in the house this morning.  The temp is in the mid 50's here, Ma. US. sunny, very nice day.  Just got back from taking the dog for a walk in the park, it's about 1 mile from one end and back, sometimes we do it twice.  He still dislikes comming back home but he's been inside most of the winter.

We are still alright here Data, don't forget that we are the guardians of world time owning GMT.

I did read, however, that speculation decrease that we may leave BST alone then shift 2013 forward again to align us with the rest of Europe. Not quite sure what that does for GMT, but, at least it won't get dark here at 15:00 Hrs during the winter.
