@CornishTeaTime

Yep, we 'spring forward,' and 'fall back.' So clocks go back an hour in the Fall (Autumn,) and forward an hour in the Spring! Smile

So clocks go FORWARD an hour tonight. 🕐Smile (Well, it's actually 1.00am on Sunday morning they go forward, but who can be faffed to stop up to do it?!)

So when I wake up at 8am tomorrow it would have been 7am this morning?

Yes! 😄

As has been said, everything techy should change on its own. Your Smart TV, laptop, smartphone, smart watch etc... But most clocks in your house, and many watches will need to be done manually.

Car clock will change automatically if you listen to radio 4. Don't know if its the same for all bbc stations. It's very useful. My last car I messed up when changing the time and the year went up to 2053 and could never change it back.

I asked my DP how the planet knows to move "an hour's worth in the sky" at just the right time for it make the shadows on sundials work properly, and he actually started formulating a very earnest and patient reply until he twigged I was taking the piss. At which point Prof Brian Cox turned into Rab Nesbitt.

Not with me.

Can't wait for the clock in my car to be telling the right time 😂

I’ll need to remember that the dog’s dinner time is now 6pm. Not that she’d object to being fed an hour early!

Mines a 10 year old Vauxhall so not hi tech. I'm v grateful it does it though

They change at 01:00 GMT tomorrow morning.

My Father always told us that he got up in the middle of the night to adjust all the clocks - and we believed him.

But then he also told us that Father Christmas brought is presents, and (Spoiler Alert) it turns out that he doesn't actually exist, so I'm not really sure how the clocks change now. Maybe the Time Fairy - who knows?

Berlinlover · 29/03/2025 18:16

Yes, I’ve been looking forward to this since the clocks went back in October.

Growsomeballswoman · 29/03/2025 18:22

Do people on nights get to go home an hour early?

ThisIsMyYearToFindMyself · 29/03/2025 18:29

WARNING - THE FOLLOWING IS FOR AUTUMN AND WINTER PEOPLE ONLY

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

We’re on the countdown to the summer solstice now, then not long to September, then a few more weeks and the clocks go back again and it’s all autumnal and I can start my annual hibernation. Bliss 🍁🍂🥮.

My friend who works at a supermarket. Every Sunday when clocks change, there’s always one who didn’t change their clocks/look at their phones. Come 4:10pm tomorrow, get someone banging on the window they should be open.
