Please don't forget to set your clocks back an hour tonight (if you're a resident of Europe, I'm not sure about the US).

Ozzy ;)

I'm just glad I'm not out with the old group tonight. This was the night we usually had to play for an extra hour for nothing*. ::)

Maybe my internal clock will catch up now. I've been suffering from "jet-lag" since the clocks last changed. The clocks in my car & all my electronic equipment will also read the correct time again. ;)

*PS. Come to think of it I don't remember this ever working in reverse. ???

 I'm just glad to know that us Americans aren't the only ones who turn their clocks back.

Who all likes Daylight Savings Time???

I personally get annoyed whenever the clocks change, although I'm not sure I'm gonna enjoy a hard winter. Plus the sun is going to be setting before 5:00 now :-/

Where do you live?  ???  In America, the sun doesn't set till about 6 or 6:30, no matter what time zone you're in!

YAY!!!  Its only 11:30!  I can still get 8 hours of sleep!

 I live in western Washington (the state...not the capital) and this time of year its not unusual for the sun to be down by 5:00 pm.
 Of course the big advantage is in summer when the sun is up until 9:00 pm!

Daylight saving works well here although many people think otherwise. Every year without fail there is a heated debate on the subject. In fact the RoSPA has just started a campaign for double summer time the whole year round. What they don't seem to appreciate is that this was tried with BST, not so many years ago with disastrous results. It was so unpopular that the government was forced to change back to the original idea after a couple of years. None of their arguments hold water & I sometimes wonder about their motives. All I can say is that these people must have short memories. ::)

PS. I'm a great believer in the old adage. If it ain't broke - don't fix it.

Whilst all of the clocks in my house were changed, Abi woke up at her usual time of 06.30, which was of course 05.30....... :-/
