Yep.................end of British Summer Time..........just got to try and remember...........do they go forwards or backwards ??? Just know it'll be darker earlier in the morning and earlier at night.

Here's some history. Maybe that'll reveal all..................lol

Spring forward fall back

Hi Mary,

Just remember that the Americans call Autumn "Fall". You leap forward, fall back. Therefore in the autumn the clocks go back. Clever that - Vel's clever not mine

Thought it was tonight. It wasn't unil Henry Kelly announced on radio this morning that the time was 10.13 am when our clock said 11.13 that the penny dropped.
