Bazle Posted March 26, 2023 Posted March 26, 2023 My telephone calendar is telling me that the UK "sprung forward" a few hours ago, so the time difference is now 6 hours, not 7. 2
Pumpuynarak Posted March 26, 2023 Posted March 26, 2023 I thought it changed at 12 midnight on Sunday 26th March but i could be wrong lol

The clocks have indeed sprung forward 1hr here in the UK ,they go forward officially at 2am on the last Sunday morning in March and go back 1hr at 2am the last Sunday morning in October. As if having to get up at 5.30 am for work is bad enough, I have lost an hour as well. 3

That's why the Eva departure time was moved forward. A shame the plane arrived here late as usual, positive, it gave people more time to make it to the gate. Given how slow it can be at Heathrow, I guess I will miss my train again. Edited March 26, 2023 by boydeste 2

My house-looking-after-mate confirms 5°, rain and a force 8 a couple of days ago. On a positive note, my programming of the central heating worked, and it is now using some of the government fuel subsidy to heat the place up ready for my return. He's also going to bring a fleece to the airport when he collects me... 2 2

Whenever on exercise in the Army serving in Germany in the 80s it depended on the reason for the exercise, which countries were involved and most importantly where the command and control were located.. Times could be:- CET UTC Alpha Bravo Zulu GMT BST 1
