    [​IMG] Dont forget.............

    The downside is we get one hour less in bed.

    The upside is it will be daylight untill 7-30 ish.
    Thank goodness.....serious gardening at last. [​IMG]

    bobj, i know this is probable stupid of me, but i didn't realise there was such a difference in the sunset times. I know it's only 20 mins, but that's a good length of time in gardening terms or even 'sitting out' terms [​IMG]

    I'm going to look at a map to see where everybody is - i understand north of england ie Manchester, Yorkshire, Hampshire, Scotland, Devon & Cornwall but not sure about Suffolk.

    cheers

    Previousyears my highly intelligent dog, Edward, has looked at the clock and got us up at 5.30 whether BST or GMT. Don't know how he does it but I am not altering the clocks this year just going forward 15 minutes a week. But I'm retired Bob. :D

    My music teacher who was also a church organist you'st to like to get to church a good hour befor the service started to get everything ready. Once he made the mistake of putting his clock FORWARD 1 hour instead of BACK and arrived at the church 3 hours early. Oops! [​IMG]

    Thanks for that - I too had forgotton. As this is in the Muppet section, am a little wary that this has been a practical joke, seeing me being the only gullable fool resetting all the clocks! [​IMG]

    I wish someone had told my tb 'box' about the clocks going forward.

    I went in the menu part and changed to time to GMT+1, so currently on bbc1 it shows the time as 1323.
    That's ok but the programme guide on TV shows eastenders starting at 11.50. TV listings say 1250. I will just have to leave it on now & see if it does finsh in 45 mins or an hour & 45 mins :confused:

    It is not the main Virgin box so i'm hoping that will be ok.

    cheers
