Falling backwards.

[Puffin]

News reader - "Ooh you're going to get an extra hour in bed tonight"......err no....you can't alter my body clock!

[Ali Tait]

Yep exactly, am working this weekend, woke up an hour early. I hate this changing of the clocks.

[struth]

Yup, i did too, although pushed myself to remain in bed for an hr :lol:

[brian2957]

I was nightshift last night:(

[Macca]

12 weeks now of finishing work after dark. We should be on BST all year round. So what if it is still dark at 0900 for a month or so?

[walpurgis]

Being retired, it makes no difference to me. These days I get up when I wake up. Usually a bit after 8 am.

I spent forty five years being at work around 7am and sometimes working through the night, so the current situation is a pleasure! :D

Better sort the clocks out though.

[walpurgis]

Clocks now put back one hour and just for once every clock in the house displays the correct(ish) time :).

[Oddball]

I usually fall backwards after too many pints!
The clocks a real pain for dairy farmers , but hey ho

My mobile asked me if I wanted it to display the GMT.

We only have two (working) clocks. Both are deliberately set a couple of minutes fast, but everyone knows that now, so the advantage of having a couple of minutes to spare is lost.

Since the invention of the wristwatch I've not really seen the point in having immobile clocks dotted about the house, except for additional pointless clutter purposes of course.

'Cos I don't wear a watch?

[Macca]

I don't understand not wearing a watch. I have a friend who does not wear a watch as he insists that it is a symbol of capitalist oppression.

Problem is, he is constantly asking everyone else what the time is. To which the response is always: 'Time you got a watch.'

'Cos I don't wear a watch?

Used to have a good few wrist watches but never wore them. Havent wore one for many years, up until my son gave me a fitbit. I wear that as it gives me an insight into how i am functioning.
I do still wear my pocket watches, but only now when dressed up lol

[walpurgis]

I don't understand not wearing a watch.

I stopped wearing a watch about five years ago. There are clocks in the house, the time is available from the TV, my cars have clocks and my mobile tells me the time. Hence, no need for a watch. Not to mention that my sense of time is pretty good. I can guess the time to with about fifteen minutes at any time of day.

Of the clocks that work in our house, one, which doubles as an alarm clock is by the bed, the other is in the kitchen for when I stumble down to make the first cuppa of the day and need to time the brew. The clock in the sitting room has never worked but fills a space on the mantelpiece, and the clock in the dining room runs too slow to be reliable. There's a Peter Rabbit clock on the shelf above the stairs from when our daughters were small, but that seems to have stopped working.

I have two clocks, one is orange, lives on a shelf in the lounge, and was a present. It doesn't work as I took the battery out straight away as the ticking annoyed me. The other is a kitchen clock, again a present, that has been in its box unopened for at least a decade.

I use my 'phone as an alarm clock. The cable tv box also shows the time but only if it is on standby. I use that sometimes. Used to have a clock radio alarm but that was retired when cellphones with alarms arrived. That must be in a box somewhere.

I go some places there are 3 or 4 clocks in every single room and hallway, all ticking away. Would drive me mad.

We've had the bedside alarm clock thingy for more than 30 years. It's a white cube-shaped thing, bought from Dixon's IIRC to replace a Grundig Clock Boy that went tits-up as soon as it was out of guarantee. It used to work as a radio as well, but the switch between alarm and radio is knackered. The main downside is that it's mains-powered, so even a momentary power cut means re-setting the bugger.

I don't have a smart phone; I do have a basic mobile but rarely use it, so it often needs charging up.
