Clocks go forward this weekend- aaaargh!

[reni1]

Why oh why, I mean I do see we are this 15th century farming society and the workhorses and other farm animals come first and can't work in the dark, but really? I personally can switch on the electric lights! Rant over.

IABU and probably overreacting a bit, aren't I?

gone.

Morning all. Have we survived the shock of the new?

Well rousing the troops is proving trickier than usual...
Doesn't help that it's pissing down as well - DS took one look outside and grumbled his way to the bathroom about 5 minutes ago. I wait with bated breath to see what time he appears downstairs dressed and ready to go complaining that it's really an hour ago and he should be in bed

Well I completely forgot this was happening

Youngest dc woke at 7.45 and I was chuffed she had had a lie in

Until I realised she hadn't really and now feel short changed

I completely forgot till I just saw this thread again. Thanks! I need to get up and ready otherwise I will miss my gym class.

The whole hour changing thing is a pain. Ideally we'd stay on BST all year, but the mornings in the depths of winter would be really horrible so I do think that the clocks have to go back at the end of October.

BUT: why do we then have to wait until the end of March for them to go forward again? Why can't they go forward at the end of February?
