Exclamation Someone's just told me -

that the clocks go BACK 1 hour at 2am on Sunday - THIS Sunday!!

I hate that ..... why don't they just leave them as they are

AND, getting up at 2am to change all the clocks ruins my sleep!! Why couldn't they tell us to change them at some better hour? Like 9am or something??

Pete - I already did this on your behalf at the weekend. Anyway - if you just leave them as they are you can be an hour early for everything for a few months and then you don't have to get up to fix them in March again
