can anyone tell me why we put the clocks forward on Saturday night?
was it for the farmers so they could work later?
or for the lovely little small children, so they don't have to risk the after-dark child catcher on the way home from school?
or just so we could invent silly sayings like 'spring forward to spring, sink into a deep depression, slash your wrists and put the clocks back for winter'?
i have to say i find it slightly irritating - not only is it dark again when i get up but my body clock is confused (yes, after just an hour - i'm sensitive!). i was wide awake at midnight last night and dead to the world this morning.
i must admit though that it is rather nice to be leaving work in 10 minuts and not have to put on a miner's helmet.

Oh tell me about it. I'm still struggling with 'Is it 7 or 8 hours difference to the UK?' 'He's on the East Coast so he's 5, no 4, no 3 hours ahead' ' She's in the South so she's what, 2 hours behind?' 'He's in Texas, who cares what time it is there, no-one wants to speak to him anyway'. One country 3 timezones - what's that all about?
(And no exclamation marks especially for you).
