Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted March 28, 2020 Paid Members Posted March 28, 2020 (edited) Unbelievably it's that time of the year again. If you've not got your head down the toilet recently, you've noticed that it's getting sunnier. British Summer Time (Coronovirus Part) has begun. Yeah! We can all go out into various social gatherings and enjoy ourselfs in the sun, not. Here's the stuff... Clocks go forward at 1am on the 29th March, which means when it hits 1am, it turns into 2am. We lose an hours sleep! Jeezo. Hope you get through this and the Corona ok. Bye! Edited March 28, 2020 by bAzTNM#1 Quote

Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted March 28, 2020 Paid Members Posted March 28, 2020 Any chance we can put them forward by much more than an hour? I’m quite happy for it to be September. Quote
Guy Bifkin Posted March 28, 2020 Posted March 28, 2020 Seems like a foolish endeavor given the exceptional circumstances. Schools are for the most part effectively closed and statistics show that there is a small bump in things like heart attacks after the clocks go forward. https://www.timeanddate.com/time/dst/daylight-saving-health.html Quote
hallicks Posted March 28, 2020 Posted March 28, 2020 According to Wikipedia, there's a bit of a push from quite a few states in the US to put the clocks forward and then leave them like that forever: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permanent_daylight_saving_time_in_the_United_States Everything grabs network time these days so it'd just be a case of updating a few hundred thousand NTP servers. Then microwaves will be correct year round! Quote

The clock on our hob in the kitchen has been completely out of sync since we moved in (8 years ago). Fuck knows what time zone the previous owners of the house were running with. 8 fucking years I’ve been dealing with a spike in my OCD every time I enter that room. Quote

My microwave has somehow managed to set itself forward by 11 minutes. It always seems to happen. Quote
