Well tomorrow is officially spring!Hope we start getting the weather to prove it soon!So why do we muck about with the clocks twice a year???I know originally it was something to do with farmers getting more hours of daylight to sort out the crops... But why do we do it now?Is it just another outdated tradition we have or is there some reason still behind it?Perhaps it's just done to confuse us!! Many a time I've turned up somewhere early or late because no one reminded me the clocks had changed

Time doesnt change till March 8th, so you will be one week ahead if you do this tonite. Spring officially begins on March 20, not March 1.

Hi ya mummyofthree You're kidding me right? I haven't heard anything to say that the clocks go back tonight, are you sure it's tonight? We have got a rugger match tomorrow and I don't want to be late meeting everybody as we have to meet at the club for 9.45 and if they go forward I am gonna be late nevermind about losing my lie in on a Sunday!! Thanks for that!

Phew thank goodness for that. Actually I have checked the calandar and it tells me that you are at least 4 weeks early as it is the begining of British Summer Time the 29th March so clocks go forward at midnight of the 28th going into the 29th!! Thanks goodness we sorted that one out!
