You have to know how to spin the situation, when it started I would have been 10 years old and my parents were in their mid forties, which was considered older than it is now ... and I could not be expected to get myself up at that age :yawn:

The context for me was: My twin brother got there on time, asked where I was he said "dunno, we left at the same time"

He also sold all my stuff when I left for the army, but that's another story entirely

From what I found the idea of Daylight-Saving time came from Ben Franklin.

Yep - should have realised clocks go forward LOL. Either way last Sunday not mid month.

The old thread was just picked up yesterday and it wasn’t recognised as such and was taken that the clocks went forward this weekend

Best to check in Settings>Time & Language that your adjust for daylight saving time automatically is turned on as we move fro BST to GMT at the weekend. My friends was turned off.

The change to BST is 02:00 on 27th March 2022 - always the last Sunday in March.

@IanMosley that post was from last October when the clocks went the other way and yes it was sent on the 27th, the end of the month

@CornishRattler It was an old post that someone came across and started this of again, I will mark it as solved

I didn't catch on that it was an old thread . . . I thought Windows 11 messed up and turned your clocks backward an hour instead of forward an hour!

It was me!!! I resurrected an old thread and freaked everybody out!!!
Ask Shawn if he'd be so kind as to ban me!

Nice One @Edwin

There was a time during one of the world wars when there was double daylight saving in the UK.

The-Hive · Mar 15, 2022

All that has ben covered in earlier posts my friend

tinmar49 · Mar 15, 2022

Corrected, TH, sorry.

The-Hive · Mar 15, 2022

No problem, it was an old post from last October that got resurrected

U.S. Senate approves bill to make daylight saving time permanent

The U.S. Senate on Tuesday passed legislation that would make daylight saving time permanent starting in 2023, ending the twice-annual changing of clocks in a move promoted by supporters advocating brighter afternoons and more economic activity.
