According to the CofE cathedral and Sheffield Newspapers' office they went back last Saturday. They both show ten to four at the moment (4:50).

JGH, yes I was thrown into a massive panic, last saturday (23/10) when I saw the cathedral clock having had its time altered.

I thought the clocks were meant to go back last weekend, because of it. I needed to double check when the clocks were supposed to be altered.

It totally confused the issue, as I had drummed it into myself that it was the last Saturdays in March and October when the clocks were altered.

I don't understand why the clock needed altering so early? surely sometime later this week would have been perfectly adequate to have adjusted the time?

Is this in relation to the clock change? If so don't worry, cos the change is actually on Sunday morning at 02:00 BST.

Spare a thought for me. I'll be on a 12hr night shift, that suddenly turns into a 13hr night shift.

And just to rub it in, instead of having just the multitude of clocks at home to change, I'll also have the 'pleasure' of having to change 30+ system's times at work. Joy....

The clocks actually go back to 00:00 GMT at 01:00 BST I think.

My mum's working nights Saturday as well, extra hour!

Are you a system admin? Surely you can set the time on the server for it to replicate across to the rest of the computers?

Thanks for letting us know.
Grr, sure we don't need to change them anymore. Takes about half a year for my sleep patterns to adjust...

Clocks change at 01:00 GMT

My platform is IBM i-Series. We do have atomic clock interfaces, but unfortunately we run processes over the clock change window that don't take too kindly to big jumps in time. Hence we have to do em manually at a suitable time.

You wanna work shifts mate. You don't have to worry about sleep patterns then....!
