Title: The clocks change next weekend.
Post by: RedLeader on March 22, 2011

I confused everyone last year telling people that the clocks were changing based on the (mistaken) assumption that it would happen on the equinox (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equinox) when in actual fact they change the week after.

So, the clocks jump forward an hour next Sunday 27 March 2011 starting British Summer Time (http://www.timeanddate.com/library/abbreviations/timezones/eu/bst.html). At 1am it will become 2am meaning you lose an hour of sleep!!
