Right....I'm gonna change all the clocks now like..... Back or forwards or summat.... Does that mean I have to go to beddington now or in another hour....? [/quoteDepends on the post count ....
So is tomorrow yet....
My Sunday lie-in will be all messed up....
All muddled here
The central heating timer is a mystery.
Do you ever wonder why you have to spend half of this morning resetting every electronic device in your home? And why tomorrow you’ll struggle to get to work on time, bleary from dragging yourself out of bed an hour early?I expect not. If you did, you’d find that the whole thing was invented by a beetle-hunter called George Hudson, who was annoyed that shift-work kept him from pursuing his hobby in the evenings; oh and it was also championed by a property developer called William Willett who was annoyed by the way dusk fell while he was playing golf. The House of Commons repeatedly rejected it as a silly idea. Eventually, in a moment of madness, Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany adopted it, and the rest is history.There’s no such thing as ‘Daylight Saving’. The amount of light stays the same whatever happens. The whole thing is completely pointless, yet we just keep doing it.
