So we lose an hour then don't we? When we put our clocks forward we will only have 23 hours in that day.

Just to please Rig?

Think the reason people are confussed is that it's usually before / around Easter, but Easter is very early this year.

Hard to understand how so many people have no clue about this. It happens every year, FFS.

Clock info.

For those too lazy to check the link, it happens on the 30th. Still 3 weeks away.

"Spring Forward, Fall Back" must be the easiest four words to remember ever. And still people get confused. The mind boggles.

I think you might have noticed the time change at some stage on Sunday, I hope so anyway!

Wonder whats the longest somebody has gone without copping the time-change... Other than lads in the rainforest/coma etc.

Yeah I spotted that, thinking about it I reckon that would be pretty tough to do! Surely you'd have to catch a bus at a certain time, or a train, or a movie, or book a restaurant, or go to a show...

I was wondering how long it would take you to show up and rise to the hook ...

20 minutes is quite impressive ... wouldn't have thought you were able for that, tbh ... >_>

Oh, don't start me! It isn't that long since I had the highly entertaining experience of listening to two old (and 80% deaf) neighbours having a 10 minute conversation about "the cows" and "the cowld" respectively ... each totally oblivious to the fact that they were on two totally different subjects!! xD

I had to get out of there in the end before they copped that I was basically ready to wet myself laughing at them!!

Right! Seeing as ye are all so topic-focused at 02.15 on a Sunday morning! ...

Who first seriously proposed DST, how did he propose to introduce it, and what was the catalyst for it's introduction?!
