We get an extra hour of daylight this evening.    How can that be a bad thing?     

 

So, all that is needed is a bit of sunshine, and I can start thinking about firing up the BBQ !   

In March, in Wales? Eff off 

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

You have to think of the poor child living in the Utter Hebridies that would have to walk from the croft to school

Or they could change the school day to start an hour later for all 67 of them, instead of pissing off the whole nation. 

[Doctor Gollum]

I got to work an eleven hour shift last night, so no complaints here

[Rods2]

Absolutely hate it. Normal working hours means unnecessary dark evenings during the winter. Most of my clocks are radio controlled as I have better things to waste my life on. I also find that it takes 1 to 2 weeks for internal body clock to adjust, which as a poor sleeper affects my sleeping patterns.

Hopefully once Wee Krankie gets her way we can abandon this madness.

If you can't sleep at night, don't force yourself too... it's a 24 hour world, adjust yours to fit

Means they'd have to walk home in the dark then.

[Bigron]

Another "WHY".....why is it that when you lose an hour's sleep, it takes at least a week to recover/adjust, and yet when you gain an hour the benefit evaporates as rapidly as a politicians promises after an election?

[Lizzie Zoom]

I never notice the hour lost......................because I am retired and can carryon leading my quiet, unhurried life

You poor souls who work as I once did...how I do not miss that!

[Bigron]

Same here, Lizzie, but what I DO miss is the income - my pension ain't elastic enough to stretch to running a thirsty Omega!

Ron.

Ah, that is not good news Ron.

I only do about 4K miles a year now, so MPG is never an issue, and my Company and State pensions cover that.

Ahhhhh Pensions. Now there another whole new can of worms topic    . . . . . . . .

Were you one of the ones affected by the moving retirement dates? Wife and I are in the "retire at 70" age group. My personal prediction is nearer 80. 

[Bigron]

I was in education (a college), so could have retired at 60; I chose 62 and a reduced lump sum (all gone ages ago!) but teaching wears you down - not the students, so much, but interfering governments and management. 

on.
