Don't forget the clocks go forward an hour tonight
Don't forget the clocks go forward an hour tonight
Or, for those boring old manual clocks, you will have to put them forward an hour yourself. Alternatively, feel free to save time now and manually add an hour in your head every time you check the time, then after a few weeks get around to actually changing them, then spend a few weeks confused about whether you changed them or not and if you still need to add an hour and checking the time on your phone to make sure.
Bloody daylight savings. It upsets the chooks and fades the curtains.
Sad to see North America isn’t the only continent stuck with this archaic ritual.
Yup. The worst thing is, while Europe has voted their intention to end it, and some American states are talking about possibly doing the same, in Australia our fight is trying not to get it introduced in those states who don't already have it. There seems to be very little talk about getting rid of it from the states that do it.
Which is so unfortunate, because it's more than just a quirky "archaic ritual". It has real measurable consequences—people die from daylight saving time. And it lacks any real benefits—prople like to talk about economic benefits, but studies fail to find them.
Yep. Just as I was getting over seasonal depression from getting up before the sun, we change the clocks and I get plunged back in.
But at least we get to stay up later, which means that it is even more tiring to get up in the morning!
I really hate daylight savings and how rough it is with losing an hour.
Why on earth also would they do it on the last weekend of school holidays is beyond me too.
They should just get rid of it, no shifting at all.
What, and miss out on all the light after work for fun activities?
I mean, either way it's spent at my house.
Me not from here. Was like noooooooooo……. I get to wait one more month.
Forward?
Commenting from Canada and our saying is “spring forward, fall back” when it comes to remembering that, but you guys have opposite seasons. Is it the same????
you guys have opposite seasons
Which is why we have opposite daylight time 🙂
No matter where in the world you are, your daylight time change is 'spring forward' because in spring the days grow longer, regardless of which calendar months your spring occurs in.
It is spring in Australia
My microwave clock is correct half of the year at least
I never let my microwave know it can work as a clock, saves a lot of hassle.
The only clock I have that needs changing manually these days is the clock in the car.
Change the clocks, check your smoke alarm batteries ... and replace if needed. The batteries that is.
Yesterday the UK were 9 hours behind Melbourne. Today they are 10 hours behind. In a month when they drop out of daylight saving, they will be 11 hours behind Melbourne. I need to talk with UK people for work. Not looking pretty.
