terrible_groaning_noise Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Hate the dark nights,I'd rather hang on to every ray of light a bit longer in the evening and it would come a bit quicker rather then March 29th next year! In this age of hi-vis clothing and farmers able to light up a field the size of Tynie is there still a need, what's your preference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Gin Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Makes very little difference to my life. I'm not going to do anything during that hour of sunlight other than travel to or from work anyway. Makes no difference if it's slightly lighter travelling to work or slightly lighter coming home from work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Jarman Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 First time the clocks go back with the wee guy around, hope it doesn't mess him too much. 6am I can deal with, 5am though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagger Is Back Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Hate the dark nights. Really gets me down and from Sunday it's a case of calendar watching until March 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locky Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Extra hour in bed before the drinking session commences. It does get really tedious after a while. I work 2 shifts at my work. Ones a 5 o'clock finish and the other is half 6. Either way, it's going to be pitch black when I finish for the next few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronJambo Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I just don't get it. Why do we bother? Why don't we just slightly adjust business hours to suit. And mention of farmers is ridiculous. A farmer doesn't work to the clock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boozyuzi Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Hopefully the UK & Europe follows the USA lead and change to putting the clocks back 1st Sunday in November and forward on the 1st Sunday in March. Will give us 4 extra weeks of BST and will noticeably reduce the feel of winter gloom at the start of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpie Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 So for me that means that the game on Sunday will start at 3.15am too long to stay up, too early to get up, so will have to miss the live game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it not make the game an hour closer to your time? So it'll be 12.15 in Scotland and 5.15am on the west coast of Canada? It'll be 7.15am in the Midwest which is perfect for me.

Pans Jambo Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 It awesome! When the alarm goes off in the morning and its still pitch dark that you feel its still the middle of the night. Shower, breakfast and out the door and its STILL dark. Drive to work IN THE DARK Sun barely gets above the horizon and its bloody freezing Leave work IN THE DARK Drive Home IN THE DARK Curtains shut in the house as soon as you get in CRAP! Changing the clock doesn't really do anything or make any difference come mid December! Hate Winter! HATE!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobboM Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 What I don't get is that the clocks go back at the end of Oct about 6/7 weeks before the shortest day .... but don't change back again until end March about 12/13 weeks after the shortest day. If end Oct is seen as the threshold for changing.... why isn't end Feb seen as the equivalent for changing back? Raging! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartsfc_fan Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I get "sads" as this time of the year. Gazing out the window at work at 4:45pm and it's pitch black is depressing in November/December time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will give us 4 extra weeks of BST and will noticeably reduce the feel of winter gloom at the start of the year. Not usually my style, but would it not also help the environment...less electricity/heating used in homes, businesses (even street lights), save on petrol/diesel as you use more fuel with heating/lights on? I could have just made a total James Hunt of myself with those comments, but I think I'm right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Del1812 Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 This couldn't have come at a better time. I'm working till 2am tonight, but you're free to go once everything is done so even if I was working later my shift length wouldn't be affected by the change. All it does is gives me an extra hour in bed before it's derby time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
