Re: clock change

As far as I know it's always last Sunday in March to go forward and last Sunday in October to go back. I'm not aware of any exceptions.

Re: clock change

Did you remember to change your clocks? It’s Daylight Saving Time again. - Miscellaneous

Might understand why steeljack was asking ... seeing as they got it wrong ...

Re: clock change

By the way when the clocks do change on the 29th March one of my clocks will be showing the right time without me having to change it ... seeing as I didnt change it back in october ...

thanks shillelagh , daylight saving time has got to be the biggest cock-up ever introduced by politicians , surely these 'brains' could come to some sensible agreement where all the countries agree to do it on the same day (Europe two weeks later than North America etc. ) and Australasia a week later than that ( if we in the northern hemisphere go forward one hour and they in the southern hemisphere go back on hour ) does that mean there is a two hour change from 'regular' time ?.

Incidentally , we have three States in the US which refuse to use Daylight saving time ........if we cant agree on anything as basic as what time it is how the heck can we agree on anything.

okay rant over
