This morning my computer and my phone had changed automaticly but here in Australia daylight saving does not finish until next weekend. So I've changed them back again. So does this mean some places already have changed times and if so which ones? John

Based on what some of our friends in England are saying, it appears they are experiencing it tonight (Sunday morning). I have CDO. It's like OCD but with the letters in alphabetical order, like they're supposed to be.

I didn't realise my laptop had already adjusted without asking, so was automatically adding an hour to the hour already added. I wish they'd just stop faffing with it. Love the long summer evenings though. Especially in the frozen perma-darkness of Newcastle. It's like having Antarctic time zones - 20 hours of daylight in summer. ******************************************************* Comfy Red Shoes.

I'm a bit miffed that I'll be missing most of the summertime here - although it's going to be warmer in Georgia, it gets dark earlier and much more quickly, so I'll miss all those long, drawn-out dusks. Ah well - I'll also 'miss' the constant rain and cold of the British summer, so I'm not too worried He had no grand scheme, no strategy, no agreement with higher authorities, nothing beyond a vague longing for glory and a generalized wish for revenge.

According to my phone which displays 3 time zones it is currently 6:48am in Melbourne, 9:48am in London and 4:48 pm in Washington DC, does that sound right? John

Me too, I don't mind the fact that things update automatically but when they do it on the wrong day it is trying! Phones and computers are sophisticated to know more or less where they are, phones particularly so hard can it be to get the time changes right since they are done by well defined areas like states or countries. I do like the long evenings though it can be a bit tiring when it's light until 9:30 so you are out doing things and then by the time you've come in and eaten it's close to midnight all of a sudden. Though here it is 7:00am and barely light out right now which is not good at all. Oh and Lisa that colour suits you but don't doze off and drop your book! John

It is 4:55PM here now in the US (and 9:55PM in the UK) and when I look up the time for Melbourne, it says 7:55AM... I have CDO. It's like OCD but with the letters in alphabetical order, like they're supposed to be.

I was thinking that the time difference between here and there didn't seem quite right. The system will possibly adjust itself again which when you add in my manual adjustment could get very confusing. John

Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts Report Post	My DAB clock radio adjusted itself (but enough about that) thrilled now the clocks have changed lighter evenings for me to faff around in the garden. I got 'er indoors to do the central heating clock and various other time pieces I am quite millatristic about it. Plus my mum always phones to say don't forget about the clocks and then no doubt spends the rest of the day saying when it is 5pm that it is really 4pm. ================== Founder of the very comfortable Red Shoes club with: Snappy, Reedyrivergirl,Super diva Donna and Kerry.

Is your Mum related to my Mum? Mine lives in Queensland where they don't have daylight savings (all that extra daylight fades the curtains something shocking!) Whenever I tell her I'm going to do something like have lunch now, she has to convert it into real time! It'd be amusing if it weren't so %@+!@%! irritating! John

Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts Report Post	The best solution, IMHO, would be to never change back to "winter time". Winters are already dark enough without switching the clocks back an hour so I'll never understand the necessity of it.

Keep the "Fall, fall back" but get rid of the "Spring, spring forward". That way we always gain an extra hour but never lose an hour. "We have nothing to fear but fear itself. And the Chupacabra!

Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts Report Post	On a slight tangent, I think we should all get in the habit of looking for ways to use high technology to keep from being ruled by the clock. Email and answering machines allow us to drop off messages any time, without having to match someone's schedule. Globalization allows work to be done around the clock. DVRs allow you to record TV programs and watch them when you want; and before long the Internet will make even that intermediate step unnecessary. Cell phones can reduce the need to schedule meetings in advance. And so on. Let the computers deal with the nanoseconds. My ideal is more like what one disgruntled programmer said in a popular book of the early '80s, called Soul Of A New Machine: "I am moving to a commune in Vermont, and will deal with no unit of time shorter than a season."

Bloody irritating! It'll all sort itself out in a few days when daylight saving does end here. I tried to fool it to say that I live in a different time zone but got confused trying to decide if I wanted GMT + 9,GMT +10 or GMT +11! John
