I didn't know that the clocks had gone forward an hour

[Accy cyclist]

I didn't know last night was the night when the clocks went forward. I've just looked at the clock on my laptop and my clock on the wall and saw an hour's difference. Was there any mention of this on tv or the radio? I haven't watched tv since the TdF in July. I listen to the radio but i didn't hear it mentioned.
This is weird!

Was all over the news last night Accy.

I know. It’s not like this has ever happened on the last Sunday in March before, right?

(Presumably if you haven’t watched tv since last July, you didn’t put your clocks back in October either, so it should balance itself out.)

It seems a week early to me, but that's only because the 31st is a Saturday.

If tv news,that'll explain why i missed it. This is the first time since i was ooh about 10 that it hasn't registered in my mind.
Anyway,it actually does feel like the first day of summer. The sun's shining,i might even wear shorts outside for the first time since last November.

Yes,i always thought the clocks changed on the last Saturday of March or October.

It's the same here Accy, enjoy the day.

The clock in my car will now be showing the correct time....i think.

Last Sunday. They don't change until 2am.

Good point.

Moving to or from midnight would bugger a lot of things up I guess so 2am makes sense.

Yes, it feels like it’s still the middle of March to me. Apparently it’s Easter next week too. Bonkers.

My son arrived home from uni yesterday. Hardly seems five minutes since we last got rid of him.

It can still cause hassle for some. It's been a few years now, but working nightshift offshore was always a Pita, especially as you were already doing 12's. Obviously lots worse off like Nhs and the like.

I think they kept it quiet this year, but when I see the local watchmaker cycle along the High Street towards the church with his ladder on his shoulder I know the times are about to change.
Look out for Easter too, the media and advertisers refer to Easter but don't tell us when it'll happen, seems we're just supposed to know.

They tell us that the sun's rays are the strongest at midday. With the sun shining brightly today,will the sun's rays be strongest at 12pm or 1pm? I'm asking this as obviously the sun doesn't know that we change our clocks.
