  Yes go back this weekend and it is for the very last time ,my talking machine at home tells me the very up to date news, it is the last time because the U.S.A. is changing their clocks the EU have said they will follow so we are doing it to.I do not agree with following all the others but they are going to.WE did do it a few years go but did not work out right lots were going to school late and the same with workers.Any way thats is all I have to say about it

  You need to have a word with your talking machine Vic, as its lying to you, we will be putting the clocks back and forward for at least the next 2 years probably longer.

  According to wiki, it will all depend on whether we follow Europe's plan in the future, Vic's gizmo is obviously not in favour of Brexit.

  I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

  How can you 'save' daylight? You can't put it under your mattress or in the freezer. And faffing with clocks won't do it.
