I`m not changing my clocks... but I will advance the time by one hour, to comply with the rest of the country ! 

[#4]

Several times whilst working a 12 hour stint on nights the clocks went back an hour but I never seemed to be working when they went forward one hour !
(No I did not get paid for the extra hour)

Yay, perhaps then the time posted will be correct on the  "Latest Forum Posts" section on the homepage instead of 3 weeks ago
But it will make getting up, to watch the Grand Prix extra hard 

[#6]

I'll just stay up till 2 then I won't lose an hour's sleep

Doesn't worry me at the moment lol
What does annoy me is when you wait around for the clock to change - just so you can see it happen (radio control clocks I mean or the computer). You wait and wait and wait... and at the crucial moment something happens to distract you and you miss it lol.
I used to ring the speaking clock to hear it go back an hour.. smart barsteward didn't do it live.. you had to ring it back again to hear the new time the last time i tried

On the subject of clocks and time
The radio signal pips for DABS radio signals are several seconds 'out of sync' (behind) actual  time.
Anyone know if there are plans to bring DABS into line?

Was up at 5 this morning (new time) would be nice if the muppets in parliament would decide to leave the clocks alone, either one way or the other

It's not possible. DAB takes the real-time signal from the Greenwich Observatory and it takes a little longer to be converted into a digital format (as opposed to FM), hence the delay.
Incidentally, anyone had problems with the automatic time update on Windows, especially Vista, going forward two hours instead on one?

I heard a BBC technical expert explain that on R4 yesterday.
It's not going to change (it can't) and part of it is down to delays in the decoders on the radio itself, and they vary quite a lot!

@nozzer, HP, see what you mean, so what do the pips tell us? would it be more accurate to announce "Its almost 12 o'clock" ?
