Clocks go back sunday october 27th (Europe)

[Gaylord du Bois]

Had this effing manflu all week so brain is scrambled - earlier when I parked my car I thought " get ahead of the game and adjust the clock for the next 6 months" - so I moved it forward an hour. Wife has just said " daft **** should be back an hour" so now I am 2 hours out when I go in the car tomorrow ............. brain is fucked

The politics forum ain't a part-time job mate. Someone's got to keep it going.
Life has it's sacrifices.

No; he was right. Where, for example, it starts getting dark at 5pm today, it starts at 4pm tomorrow. But it gets bright earlier in the morning. But very few kids walk home now, and certainly not alone.

Apologies @Stephen230
I thought it was a question about what would happen if we kept BST all year - which is what I would like. My fault for dipping in and out of the thread!

Hey, no problem mate. I’m as confused as anyone about what we’re talking about.

I usually only even realise the clocks have changed in October because there’s a week where most of the NFL games kick off at 5pm instead of 6.

Fair comment. MF trumps.

GMT. Why ‘mean’?
The earth and the solar system are not clockwork, so there are wobbles and variations. True noon at the Greenwich Meridian can vary by up to 45 minutes, so the clock time is an average, hence ‘Mean’.
