Well thanks for spoiling all the fun we could have had laughing at those who forgot and find it's an hour later than they thought. Now they won't miss their flights, trains or buses. You really are a spoilsport.

Not changing in Turkey until Monday!!!!!!
The crazy Erdogan has postponed the clocks moving forward for 24 hours so his less than switched on voters don't get confused and miss the polling times. It will cause chaos with travelling arrangements as he hasn't announced it in the papers or the news. Got an email from the airline saying our landing times will be one hour earlier (local time) than previously advised!!!!

Hi Tony,
I reckon there will/was still a few who forgot.

Blasted politicians playing God. I dislike ( and so must thousands of kids) getting up in the dark again. I saw a doctor quoted as saying,quite seriously, that there would be an increase in heart attacks.

Not necessary here, every clock in the house is controlled by the DCF77 German longwave time signal radio station and automatically adjusts to the correct local time.
The one exception is mounted on the main cabin bulkhead on the boat in Italy; an 8-day brass chronometer that I wind every week when living aboard. As soon as I arrive in the Spring I wind and set it - from my Casio radio-controlled, solar-powered wrist-watch.
No more the tyranny of fumbling around with all those clocks twice a year.

Now, now, that cannot be true. I distinctly observed my neighbour hefting his garden sundial round on Sunday morning ... seven and half degrees clockwise, I think he said.I agree, I have no problems with my Acme EH4J solar-powered sundial either.

But how can they possibly get it right when it's too misty to see the Sun?
