Daylight Savings Time!

Post by janetgalle » Sun Apr 03, 2005 4:57 pm

I know there are never enough hours in the day, and now along comes Daylight Savings Time, set your clocks ahead one hour! Where does that hour go? Most states, but not all, set the clocks ahead one hour in the spring, and set them back one hour in the fall. Spring forward..fall back.

Do you forumites in other countries do anything like this?

If you live in the US and are living in a state that does observe DST remember to reset your GST in your profile so it shows the correct time you are posting.

UK = GMT in Winter and BST (British Summer Time) in Summer, one hour ahead. We're enjoying daylight in the evenings now - as late as 10pm come June

They do it all over Europe as far as I'm aware. At least they do in Spain.

I'm still trying to catch up the hour we lost last week. :lol:
