Thanks
Yes it is.

We've decided to turn the clocks back to 1951.

So you'd better make sure you have your shorts are handy, and that your knees are clean.

Re: clock change in UK
Its ok changing all the clocks but I cant change my body clock to match. Body for a few weeks will cause me grief so gonna have to sulk a tad. As it was for farmers originally and farms are dropping faster than the stock markets lets leave it as is please.

Re: clock change in UK
At least one of our members will be looking forward to it, she has new job


The voice of the speaking clock is to be replaced with an actress in the role of Tinker Bell from Peter Pan.
Callers who dial 123 for the BT service will hear the new voice for three months starting at 0100 GMT on Sunday.
The change marks the end of British Summer Time and is part of a deal with Disney to promote a film of the 1904 JM Barrie play due out on 10 November.
The deal will temporarily replace Sara Mendes da Costa with Mae Whitman who also plays Tinker Bell in the film. David Rooney, curator of time keeping at the Royal Observatory Greenwich, told the BBC: "For me as a historian, the most important thing is that it's going to be just as accurate as it ever was.

We had summer on the 9th of May, between the hours of 11.05 - 15.40.

Perhaps it didn't make it up to Scotland.
