Summertime/Wintertime - the clocks change soon!

Post by Robinson100 »

For anybody who is not really keeping an eye on such things, I thought I would mention that the clocks change this coming Sunday, March 31st 2024.

At 2am the clocks will be changed forward to 3am.

I don´t like the changes, and do not consider them to be necessary these days, but it´s not my choice!
I just like to be aware of when it´s going to happen - again!

I'm reminded of the scene from Trainspotting 2 in which a character is an hour late for some important events, resulting in a cascade of dire consequences:

What is your preference, staying on wintertime or summertime?

I'm team summertime.

In the summer, wintertime results in the sun rising at 3am. This period of daylight is of no use to anyone, because we're all (99% of us at least) still sleeping. Whereas summertime in the summer results in much longer evenings, and as people are already awake, this daylight has more value.

Winter is always going to be depressing regardless of the time because there is never enough daylight.

I'm pleased that the clock on the oven I neglected to change over the past 6 months is now right again :D
