Altering the clocks, good idea or not?
« on: October 30, 2010, 08:45:36 am »
As ever at this time of year people are moaning about having to alter the clocks.
What do you think? Good idea or not?
There seem to be arguments for and against, but how would you prefer it as a window cleaner?


PS, Dont forget it's TONIGHT,  Officialy we should alter them backwards at 2am. From 02.00 BST to 01.00 GMT.

the reason your so tired is due to walking around the house at 2am. you should do what I do.

I move every clock in the house (including any electrical goods such as microwave and DVD player) into my bedroom, I then set them all to go off at 2am. All I need to do is get up and change them backwards an hour. it only takes a few moments.

The downside is they all go off again when it hits 2am for the second time.  ;D
