You get an extra hour for nothing. I fully advocate putting the clocks back an hour every day.

Yep, it's lovely!

The kids love that "extra hr in bed" although they prefer to see it as an opportunity to have as much sleep as usual but wake up an hr early!

Not a fan of it going dark really early though!

It's alright.

I don't like it

If it 12.45 now.......it's not really 12.45 .it's actually 1.45pm

Well this time yesterday it would have 1.45pm but today no it's 12.45pm

And we think time travel is impossible?

Surely time should be a fixed measurement ........if we lose an hour and gain an hour every year.....how do we know what the right time is?

You can't put a sundial back or forward an hour

I think this is interesting but you might not........there is alot of evidence that small children and babies do awake an hour earlier than they normally would on the day the clocks go back!

i think though they sort of know the grownups are artificially manipulating time and have a sort of protest

I understand those of you who aren't keen on it, but I still maintain that if the clocks went back an hour every day, you'd soon get used to it!

You all changed times, again? How many times a year do you have to reset your clocks? 20...I though you just changed in August or September for the fall, and before in April for spring

No, that is not a sarcastic comment... just, where I'm at we don't change and it seems like the rest of the world is forever resetting their clocks.

OK, been up since 5am...so forgive me if I have this a bit arse about tit....if clocks went forward an hour every day, we'd start looking forever young .....but back an hour a day and we'd all look 80 at 50....surely not good psychology?

^ That'd be OK 'cause you'd be getting more beauty sleep.

The fact that we constantly have to tinker with time, leap years, leap seconds, forward/backwards an hour etc. just goes to show how little we understand something we tried to invent ourselves to try and control ourselves, we can't even control 'it'!
