Clocks

I'm not talking about the Coldplay song of the same title, but about the extra hour of sleep you guys in Europe and North America will be gaining on Sunday. Just a friendly reminder.
Don't forget it wind them back one hour at 2 a.m.!
(The opposite applies for those in S.A., Australia and New Zealand) -
But I will be in Singapore
Not gaining that hour!!!!!

For those who keep forgetting which direction to set the clock during those two times of the year when they have to be changed, just remember this handy mnemonic: Spring Forward, Fall Back. -

erm...sure it's not the first Sunday in April?Originally posted by Kuali Baba:And always on the last Sundays of October and March.
in 2007 it changes in the US and Canada to extend Daylight Savings Time by 4 weeks....from the 2nd Sunday in March to the 1st Sunday in November as part of The Energy Policies Act of 2005....that's an American thing but Canada follows in our footsteps. -
So it begins today.

Forgot to turn back the clocks last night. Only hit us when hubby was walking out the door earlier this morning. He walked right back in.Originally posted by Kuali Baba:So it begins today. -
If that's the case, we need to send some to Arizona too.Originally posted by Meia Gisborn:Too true. We should lob a couple of nukes in their direction. -
You know you can wind the clocks back before going to sleep. It's not necessary to wake up at the first 2am to change the time.Originally posted by Kuali Baba:Don't forget it wind them back one hour at 2 a.m.! -

No, not Arizona!
They might not observe DST, but they can be forgiven as they have a great gun culture there. -
It's funny that the actual time line in Canada do not follow provincial borders.
If you are in the extreme east part of BC, you actually have to follow Alberta's time zone.
but it is funny that when you are driving along the Highway in BC there is a sign asking you to change your time. And you just lost an hour going eastwards. -
So how many timekeeping devices did you have to manually reset during the time change last weekend? For me it was:
1. Thermostat
2. Coffee maker
3. Microwave oven
4. Bedside alarm clock
5. Wristwatch
6. Oven
7. Wall clock in living room
8. Water softener
9. Desktop clock
The VCR and PCs adjust their time automatically. However, I still haven't figured out how the change the time on the stereo in one of my cars. -
Same same except for water softener, which I wish I had. Expensive!Originally posted by Meia Gisborn:So how many timekeeping devices did you have to manually reset during the time change last weekend? For me it was:
