Confuses our dog no end.......his stomach refuses to accept all this faffing around with clocks. If his tum says it’s 5pm, that’s what it is😂

It will be interesting to see which European countries adopt this change as their last and leave the clocks as they are set from tomorrow.

We could very well end up with a 2 hour time differential come November time. It probably won't affect the vast majority of us but those that travel abroad or have to deal with EU countries may be inconvenienced.

Well Kevin Bridges said that if Scotland were to be an independent country they would have their own times zones.

At 9am on Friday the clocks would go forward 8 hours and at 8pm Sunday night they would go back 8 hours.

It’s about time this clock changing was scrapped, seems a pointless exercise.

I'm intrigued to know why you think that those who travel abroad will be inconvenienced. Most travel abroad, especially by plane, generally results in a time difference - it's no big deal.

Or even Double summer time!  

If it was up to me I would probably have GMT in Winter and DST in summer. It does seem crazy that in the height of summer we don't have many weeks when it is light after 9.00pm. The problem with this country is the weather is rarely hot enough to sit outside when it is dark. Extending the sunlight hours would probably generate extra income for pubs and restaurants.
