*********** clocks

Post by komfortablynumb »

Here we go again.
Time changes in the UK this morning at 0200 hrs.
Time goes forward 1 hour.
it happens twice a year.
In autumn the clocks go back an hour.

Is this a government conspiracy.
What do they do with that hour.
And if there just borrowing it for about 6 months.
Shouldn't they be giving some interest.
Shouldn't my borrowed hour now be worth 65 minutes.
In which case i am owed some time.

memo.
Change all the ********* timepieces

You could do what I do - and delegate the task - or do what my Mum does, and don't bother! She says well they'll come right again in October....

Yes, I was at work at six this morning which meant getting up at the equivalent of four oclock. That was actually less fun than it sounds!

Theres also the annual ROSPA report which shows that on both those days and a few afterwards road accidents go up significantly.

My wife has no concept of time, especially when we are going out and she is "just getting ready darling".

One hour either way, means nothing to her. :cry:
I've lost my mind and I am making no effort to find it.
