The clocks are back tonight :(

[caitlin95uk]

Well thats it, one less hour to the busy rush after work/school to get the pony done.
Goodbye warm, relaxed, bright evenings, Hello busy, cold, dark evenings :'(
Anyone else depressed that the clocks are back tonight?
On the plus side, one extra hour of sleep!

If theyre going back, doesnt that mean an extra hour of daylight?

 

[Mabel98]

Bummer, no more riding after work

nope, lets say its this dark at 6 o clock now, then tomorrow the clocks will go back, and it will be this dark at 5 o clock

Every time the clocks change it takes me ages to work out the right time on my phone, especially when i have to set my alarm 30 mins "late" or "early" (i dont like changing the horses over in 1 day so do 30 for 2 days!!!) i think i am intellectually challenged!!!!!

On the plus side it wont be so dark when i wake up in the morning

They go back on Sunday night, the 31st according to the government website.

i thought that, but they go back at 2am so technically the 31st :/

I wonder if anyone actually stays up till 2 to change the clocks ?!!

they did do it apparently for like a few years a while ago but it made things dark in the morning as it was 8/9 and still black, but tbh i would prefer that just to have time to ride after

No more hacking in the evenings for me anymore!

 

[Ilovefoals]

I'm hating it even more tonight as I'm on a 12hr nightshift! So that makes it a 13hr night shift now. Oh lucky me! Plus it's my birthday on sunday!!!

Ummm actually that site still advocates the clock change as per usual - they just want us to put the clocks forward for an hour too...so we are GMT+1 and GMT+2 - like Europe...they are nothing to do with the stopping of clock changing!

Well, the idea is that we have MORE daylight in the evenings specifically. The BHS are lending their support to the campaign - more riders prefer to hack out in the evenings, it would make it safer for all road users (not just riders) and all outdoor activities would be more accessible. Makes sense to me - I can't get to the yard in the mornings (have to be at school for 8.00 - teacher) but my day finishes at 3.20, so another hour in the evening would be really good (45 mins - 1 hour journey to school). There is an article in the Nov/Dec issue of British Horse magazine.

I dont understand why we dont just stay on GMT+1 simple no clock changes and the latest it would get dark in mid winter would be about 5 pm GMT +2 it would be light till nearly midnight in mid summer so then the temptation to stay up late and then be knakerd in the morning...

I like the clocks changing actually, I work on a stud and we start at 7am, it was pitch black and checking horses is no fun in the dark. I don't mind the other change as I am sitting up foaling when it happens so get an hour off work!
