We've got Covid and a volcano, we've had Meghan but there's more. The clocks go forward this weekend

[Feek]

Stupid BST starts this weekend on the 28th March.

We'll say goodbye to GMT for the summer, we'll be back to idiots quoting GMT when they don't understand the difference, we'll be back to confusion and madness.

We invented time, we invented Greenwich, we invented longitude and we invented clocks*. It's only right that we should be on proper GMT all year round.

BST, you can do one. You're not wanted here.



*some of this may not be entirely factual

Bah.

 

[Lysander]

Worst time of the year. GMT 4 lyf.

 

[dlockers]

Not catching a train, not catching a boat - who cares what the time is?

Light + idiots.

My bloody microwave.

My bloody microwave.

I remember trying to programme VideoPlus! once. What a world.

 

[Feek]

VideoPlus was great, all you had to do was tap in the numbers.

Of course, it didn't help if the VCR clock was wrong by an hour and all you got was the Open University.

 

[dlockers]

It seemed like black magic at the time. I guess the code wasn't actually all that sophisticated after all.

 

[Hades]

Yay, the clock in my car will be right again. Happy days

Fantastic, longer, lighter evenings!

BST is BeST.

I love it that the US change at a different time, which makes meeting scheduling a complete pain in the arse for 2 weeks while it's all thrown out of sync annnnnd then back again

I much prefer the US stock market being open earlier and finishing earlier tho

 

[something daft already!!]

We didn't invent time but the concept of measuring it, in the way we do currently. Entropy has been around since the big bang but time itself is an illusion because there is only now.

No, it's B*******.

 

[Maccy]

Lighter evenings woop!

Mine will need +1 adding as it's set to GPS time.

 

[Feek]

but time itself is an illusion

Lunchtime doubly so.

We should permanently be on BST anyway. Hour of light in the evening is way more useful than in the morning.
