Just DO IT , FFS, and stuff the Jocks. evil:

Let them have their own time zone if they want to retain it that badly, in fact, they could put the clocks back 12 hours every morning for all I care. Banghead

We have a power cut Monday morning 8 - 11...  ::)

So no point resetting the bloody clocks on Sunday...  noooo:

I'm gonna be well confusimicated I am....  cussing:


Irksome but at least you know when it is going to happen. Power cuts here are only predictable if there is a thunder storm when the lights frequently go out  censored:

Not looking to endanger your second new toaster but don't forget to reset the timer on your boiler!  whistle:

Problem with that is that we will still have to go through the ritual twice a year.

Why can't they just pick a time and stick to it all year?

If necessary change the hours that people go to work and children go to school.

As for farmers .... with modern farming they work all bloody hours, when they feel like it, using spotlights as bright as bloody searchlights to enable them to plough/harvest or whatever through the fecking night! We often have them in the fields round here until one in the morning! They were at it last evening until gone ten, 5 tractors up and down the village hauling trailers of God knows what.

Well everyone I've mentioned it to is in agreement and hates this annual nonsense.
Makes us feel all unhappy and depressed.

Everyone bar one that is of course. whistle:
