Do the clocks go forward next week

Just move GMT one hour forward.

Classic.

We can change the rules. GMT belongs to Britain.

Which makes no sense, they can get up as soon as it goes light, ignore what their bedside clock says.

 

We should stay on permanent BST, or adopt BST and BST+1

It means that we have evenings that go dark in the winter earlier than they need to, for the sake of making it light at 0700 when there are fewer people out of the house than there would be at 1700.

Light in mid winter at 0700 when on GMT? when was the last time you got up in mid winter at 7AM?

Although farming may have been a massive influence in the past on time changes, the main reason is to prevent school kids going to school in the dark hence why we go back to GMT.

Do you think that we should move the sun a little bit to the left then?

Just move GMT one hour forward.

Then it wouldnt be GMT, there is nothing wrong with GMT, after all its served us well for many more years than BST

Errr, Mon - Fri all the way through.

The argument about school children is not a good one. It ensures they go to school in the light, but it means they come home in the dark.

Look

Oct 1st 2015 Sunrise 0700 Sunset 1839

Nov 1st 0653 - 1643

Dec 1st 0743 - 1555

Jan 1st 0806 - 1602

Feb 1st 0739 - 1649

Mar 1st 0646 - 1740

Apr 1st 0637 - 1933

We should be in the same time zone as France, Spain and Germany. Both from a geographical point of view, and from a business point of view.

That's illogical.

USA= one country with four mainland timezones.

Russia= one country with thirteen mainland timezones.

Do they manage? Yes.

QED.

OMG - ALREADY??? :gag:

 

Thanks for the reminder though....that was a close one, had no blimmin idea

 

Phew!

Easy to remember - Last Saturday night in March & last Saturday night in October.

March Forward - Fall Back

OK, Fall Back refers to an American name for the season but it makes more sense than Autumn or Winter back

Do the clocks go forward next weekend

It appears nobody has actually answered your question. Yes.

In the UK the clocks go forward 1 hour at 1am on the last Sunday in March, and back 1 hour at 2am on the last Sunday in October.

The reasons will doubtless be pointlessly discussed everytime and to no avail.

Clocks go forward, spring foward fall back.

The first three posts answered the question.

The first three posts answered the question.

Did you actually check what you were posting before doing so?... clearly not.

No the first 3 first three posts did not, why would you even feel the need to say such a thing?

I am honestly curious about that.

Do you actually enjoy embarrasing yourself by being wrong?

In the 2nd post Max provided a link but did not directly answer the question, there was no almost direct answer till simonj in post 32. The one directly before mine btw.
