Don't forget to turn your clock back one hour this weekend. 🙂

In the UK it starts getting dark when people are making their way to work and school, so the clocks are put back to buy some extra light during the darker months. In the summer months it helps people who work late, maybe farmers and such as it contrives a later sunset.
Why do they keep going back 1 hour, then forward 1 hour, etc.
That seems a little insane to me.
Just go back half an hour this time, and then leave it alone after that!
You could disregard the whole concept of putting clocks forwards and backwards and ask people to do everything one our earlier as of such a date, but people being people, I doubt they would comply. You have to tell them that 'THE TIME HAS CHANGED' and they follow like lemmings.
Bizarre really.
