Oh dear it's here.

So I thought I would post this lovely song.

Turning Back The Hands Of Time - Neil Sedaka

SAD is on it's way.

If only we could as Human's, turn back the time, when would you turn them back to and why?

I would turn it back to about 1974, when my wife and I did a month's holiday on the greek islands of Samos, Chios and Lesbos. Such lovely islands.
We booked everything ourselves and flew to Athens from Amsterdam and caught the next days flight from Athens to Samos to a beautiful hotel. We stayed there for a week and then took a small boat to Chios.
We hadn't booked anything for Chios, but it didn't take long to find a taverne on the south coast of Chios.
After a week in Chios we took a boat to Lesbos and travelled by taxi to the north of Lesbos where we stayed in a beatiful hotel on the harbour.
We finally flew back to Athens and then back to Amsterdam.
The memories are enormous and we still have a huge amount of photo's to look back on.

If only eh.

Just in case anyone in the u.k. has forgotten we put the clocks back one hour this weekend. A discussion as to whether we should or not still goes on every year. Personally I think it is about time we left well alone.

In this house we have 14 analogue clocks, 6 of them striking, along with the usual digital ones on VCR's etc. It's a morning's work setting them all to the new time, twice a year.

On Sky news this morning this could be the last time we might be putting the clocks back like back in 68. Whatever happens I bet someone somewhere will moan about it.

Some folks say it's a good time of the year to check the batteries in your smoke alarms...that way (one or two fixed times of the year to test) people don't forget before winter heating time (if colder winter applies to you, of course).

Waste of time. If you want to change your day according to the sunlight - do it. Just leave me and my dog alone. I was living in London last time they tried it and it didn'nt do any good. The bullshit about helping the tourist industry in Scotland is just that. I used to spend summer in Aviemore. There was no night just a few hours of dusk. So if you move the dusk a few hours this or that side of midnight it will make little difference. Even tourists need a little sleep sometimes.
As for kids being killed on the roads what odds does it make if they are killed in the morning or evening?
Some fool on TV said that in the morning we knew where we were going so it was easy in the dark. In the evening we were more likely to get lost and put ourselves at risk. What does he take through the day?
Leave our biorythms alone (unless you play bodhran).

It strikes me as absolutely stupid but I guess I don't know all the considerations. Anyway, are you talking about UK? I think it is Nov 7 in US. mg

I think the thread title, Clocks Go Back UK 31st Oct might be a clue that the clocks are going back in the UK...

There are suggestions that sticking to British Summer Time in the winter, and moving to double BST in the summer (which would put our time the same as France, Germany and Spain) would be beneficial and encourage more people to exercise before it got dark...

But here in the States the clocks or cocks change on the first Sunday in November.

Cheerily,
