The clocks went forward at 01:00 - hope this didn't cause any problems for the trains!   |

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

I'm just pleased to get the lighter evenings back. If I had my way we would leave the clocks where they are now throughout the year though it seems we may be heading towards CET▸ (Central European Time) according to todays Observer: http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2010/mar/28/labour-tories-back-clock-changePlans to change the clocks to give another hour of daylight throughout the year are being advanced by Labour and the Conservatives. Both parties believe it would result in reduced energy consumption, fewer accidents and generally improved health.
The growing likelihood of a political deal between the parties on the issue can be revealed today, after the country moved the clocks forward last night to British summertime, one hour ahead of Greenwich mean time (GMT).
The UK▸ 's clocks are currently set to GMT during the winter and GMT+1 in summer. But the Observer understands that both Labour and the Tories have been influenced by environmental, road safety and tourism campaigners, who have argued for a switch to GMT+1 in winter and GMT+2 in the summer. |

A quite appalling idea for some, apparently? |

Sorry, but I bet it's another way the EU» are trying to control our lives. Get the UK▸ , who DEFINE time, to change OUR time to match theirs. Just because theirs is wrong. (France and Spain should be same as us, etc.) No - they should change theirs. And we should stick up for ourselves, before it's too late! Appalling!  |

I tend to agree - but I do not agree we shout faff with the clocks
Makes it so much more confusing when you work with other countries!

Tim Yeo actually made a rather persuasive case for adopting European time in the Guardian last week, as did Victor Keegan (no, me neither). I actually managed three time changes that weekend - flew to Denver on Friday (-2 h), then changed to daylight savings (+1 h, one of the few things that all the states have actually managed to harmonize across the country here) then back to Philly on Sunday (+2 h again). |
