It seems to be assumed that everybody's scared of the dark nowadays. We don't get dark anymore, because people have 1 billion watt headlamps on their cars, and the police don't seem to do a thing. Why don't they pull people over every time they're dazzled by one?

[Mr Macaw]

Awww you poor thing, were there monsters behind the trees?

As a kid, I preferred light AFTER school, when I went out to play. Who = gives a f*ck what it is when you're just going somewhere you don't want = to be anyway?

Then don't wear it. You must be younger than me, because people hadn't = gone crazy on those outlandish things when I were a lad.

The only thing I was "forced" to do was to get off the school bus at the= correct stop (the stupid driver was concerned for my safety or somethin= g - I was only trying to go to a friend's house). From that day on I cy= cled to school and he didn't get his 10p fare.

Changing the working hours is more of a pfaff than simply changing the t= ime.

Why does noon have to be then? In fact it shouldn't be. The highest su= n should be in the middle of the period of time the average person is aw= ake. IME, most people get up at 7 or 8 for work, or 9 or 10 on days off= , then go to bed at 11 or 12. So midday should be 4pm.

A light evening's argument trading? Is this a Monty Python sketch? :-)=

Make all of Europe the same, then we'd have the lighter evening too.

[Mr Macaw]

Which is why we should centre the lightest part of the day around the middle of our waking hours.

The cheapy I got from fleabay keeps perfect time, and what's more, the seller gave me an automatic refund because they'd had several complaints of the wall wart being noisy, so rather than wait for more complaints, decided to proactively refund everyone who'd bought one.

These are from the UK, and are set to DCF signal, dont buy these for GB, you need MSF

[Simon Mason]

It's not a problem as you just put in a -1h in the menu and it reads BST.

My watch on the left uses GPS and the one on the right uses DCF77.

[charles]

You can use DCF clocks in the UK, you just need to put in a 1hr offset. We've had one in our Village Hall for years.

I built my own 25 years ago for £6.

Happy last Christmas. Radio clocks with wrong time usually tuned to german signal. Brian

[Bob Eager]

Do you really mean that?

[whisky-dave]

I brought one in maplin that uses German time, all you have to do then is advance it by one hour (depending on time of year of course)

[Martin Brown]

It isn't being tuned to the German DCF77 signal that is the problem it is the unit having a default of Munich CET as its time zone. There is usually a menu to set either GMT offset or longitude of a major city.

The latter more common on the ones that do local sunrise/sunset etc.

Setting the time zone on a "auriol radio controlled clock" is as follows: 1: press the Down button for 3 seconds and an F will appear in upper right area:

2: press the Set button for 3 seconds and the Hour display should now be flashing: 3: adjust the time to your zone: 4: press Set to complete

I thought the autumn clock change date differed between us and continental Europe. Is there not a period with no offset?

[Andy Burns]

BST/CEST have started on the same date since 1981 and reverted to GMT/CET on the same date since 1996.

[Scott]

Thanks. I did not appreciate that, nor did I appreciate that France operated DST at all.

[charles]

there used to be such a time
