UK: CLOCK GO BACK TONIGHT

Or perhaps they had slightly more important things to worry about?

Aren't children's lives important?

[smurfboy]

I can't remember the last time I heard of a child dying from getting up an hour later or earlier.

No.  But the darker nights cause more accidents and that must inevitably involve children. I didn't intend to be frivolous.

BST was permanently in force from 1940 to 1945, and again in 1968 to 1971. 

I can remember this (the second time period!).  It was horrible - we had to walk to school in the pitch dark and everyone was issued with orange and silver reflective armbands.  Whenever they talk about changing the system with the clocks, cows (and milking) seem to come into it!

I just leave my clocks.  Save's me having to put them forward again in March.

 And I thought you prided yourself on your knowledge of the apostrophe!

Wow! I'd forgotton all about those arm bands until now! I can clearly remember those dark winter mornings and ariving at school just as the light was dawning.
