I hope everyone remembered today is daylight savings time. Don't forget to change the clocks back an hour. My computer and one of my clocks have already changed. Did you remember to set your clocks back??

Yes. We did it last Sunday in the UK so we are now on Greenwich Mean Time again. What a complete con and waste of time it is changing to British Summer Time. Daylight saving? How can you save daylight? All you do is move it from one end of the day to the other - you save nothing. Anyway in Spring, after one month the sun rises at the same time as it did before the change so any 'gain' is only a month long.

I agree that the whole daylight savings ritual has lost its usefulness in our post agricultural, post industrial society. Let us put the clocks ahead one hour, if it is such a good idea, and leave them there year round.

The time now is normal time - the time that is governed by the longitude of the time zone. For the UK it is GMT at 0 degrees longitude which passes through Greenwich in London. The silliness will come again next March.

Most of your electronic equipement changes on its own that is nice my computer my wall clock and my cell phones all changed on their own. I had to change my alarm clock and the battery operated clock. I need to go out and change the clock in my car too.
