An extra hour of light after work means week day evening rides again :-)

I once tried using the clock confusion as an excuse for turning up late for work, when really I just wanted to have a lie-in... on arriving an hour late, I said i'd forgotten to adjust my clocks... they pointed out that if that was the case, I'd have arrived an hour early

We changed our clocks two weeks ago, does it really take that long for the sun to get from Canada to the UK or am I misunderstanding the whole thing?
And why is it that one you can never remember how to change and have to search out the instructions ?
Spring forward - Fall back (or Autumn for us brits).

In a handful of hours my bike computers will show the correct time.
Similar here, I have to be at work at 6.00am, so I will get up about 4.45 which is really 3.45. Early to bed this evening.Gotta get up at 6am tomorrow which will actually be 5am!! Booooo!!

I think some of the original reasons were to allow farmers more light for harvesting, etc.........farm machinery now has powerful lights so not really required. Another reason, to allow children to get to school more safely in the mornings.....again there are so many ferried to school by coach or parents and those that do cross roads nearly all have crossing patrols so not really needed now either. Must admit I would be happier just leaving it alone now.
There is still the same amount of daylight hours if the clocks go back of forward. By moving the time only shifts the hours of darkness..so in the winter it wouldn't get light until 8-8.30, a bit later in the north. I think we should keep BST, maybe calling it British Standard Time instead.
