European Summer time ends - 30th October

I'm sure that at one time the date we changed the clocks was not always the same date as mainland Europe. That must have really caused havoc with ferries/planes.

Don't forget to put your clocks back this weekend.

I haven't taken my socks off. Oh sorry, clocks.

I think it is a ruse perpetuated by those that want to stay on their pitch after 12:00 on sunday.. The lengths they will go to ..

"European summer time ends" ????

I thought it was British summer time !!!!!!!

As and aside. According to Michael Portillo Spain should be on GMT, like Portugal. But way back in Franco's time he changed it to CET to earn favour with Hitler. Apparently they have or are thinking of adapting GMT again.

That would be good in some ways. It would save me keep changing my watch every time I visit my apartment. Think I might miss the long evenings. Even with the longer winter days than back in the UK, it does seem very dark in the mornings though.

It did but you got used to it, we lived in Germany then and at times we were 2 hrs differant to UK.

I could have sworn that the war was over and we no longer needed 'daylight saving'!

Thanks anyway Jill, if the Rugby (town not game) mob get their signals right my clocks should automatically re-adjust.

Great we get an extra hour on site on Sunday!!!

Write your comments here...Thought I read this week that the Balearic Islands are not going to change with the rest of Spain. For those heading that way on hols, please check to make sure I haven't got it wrong (again)
