Whats the story with the time on this forum. Why is it always 1hour behind what GMT should be?

Anyone know?

It's a mystery you only ponder about when truly bored.

Because we're on daylight time atm?

 

[FatBusinessman]

Talking of which, when do the clocks go back? It's pretty soon, isn't it?

 

[granny]

I like cheese.

 

[GDW]

Still stopped smoking Granny?

Forum times are in GMT / UTC. (Greenwich Mean Time / Universal Time )

Currently UK is on BST (British Summer Time), which is an hour forward of GMT.

Clocks change on the 27th October, which moves UK back on to GMT and keeps the farmers happy.

silly farmers with there 's

they have to screw up my nights sleep for a week... oh wait when the clocks back I feel better until I realise it's getting dark earlier and then I get grumpy. bah!

 

[James-]

Clocks change the weekend of October 25th iirc.

 

[dysfunction]

This clock changing idea is stupid!

Why dont the farmers just get up an hour earlier??

Why do we all have to wake up in the dark?! Its just not fair. I think a protest in the country is in order!

Sell them a copy of The Big Issue and see how they leik them apples!

 

[NaveT]

Think its also got something to do with WW2 as well

 

[dysfunction]

Oh of course...we're still fighting in WW2

I guess thats why they still close the pubs at 11

 

[Mellow-]

No, that's to make sure that people aren't still getting rat arsed in the small hours of the morning so they can actually get to work the next day ... isn't it?

Strange that other countries dont seem to have that problem...

The Law does go back to WW2 however...iirc

...but England always resists change!!

I believe it was to maximise daylight hours so munitions factories could increase production in the First World War, iirc.

 

[NaveT]

Pubs dont shut here @ 11.

Summo sounds like Mr Smartypants, but it's just his good memory (I am the Smartypants round here)

 

[dysfunction]

[Testin da Cable]
