Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August) available until March 31st, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
I work shifts, and I find it pretty exciting putting the clock forward an hour and realising I am going to g home sooner than I thought, messes up my charting of hourly patient obs though.
Later in the year it’s bitter sweet, as you have to turn the clock back and stay longer.
If not working it makes not a jot of difference
It gives the internet a twice-yearly chance to moan about something?
I enjoy it. It's what I've always known, helps define the year and is no skin off my nose. Long may it continue.

I think it came about during the war to give farmers 'more time'. It was called daylight saving. Completely pointless, just leave the clocks as they are. Works fine x
We could reintroduce an extra hour of daylight saving on top- making 2 hours- as in the second world war. That would really give people something to talk about!
Obviously jam/cream. I refuse to accept any other nonsense.
It like teabags out before milk or after. Only one way is correct.
I have now carried out a full and detailed study of the whole scones, jam, and cream situation. This is based on scientific experiments involving a great deal of personal sacrifice to determine the answer (i.e. eating a lot of scones).
And, the answer is:
It depends!
If you are using clotted cream, the cream is too thick to spread on jam, so the cream has to go down first.
If you are using whipped cream, it's impossible to spread jam on top of it, so the jam has to go down first.
Using butter is just not acceptable under any circumstances.

Butter is fine but it’s an either or of cream or butter for me.
Not sure I’ve ever done whipped cream.

Most FPSO operators’ procedures consider that any level of ventilation is sufficient to make a confined space safe, subject to gas testing before entry. There are no regulations applicable to confined space entry offshore, certainly nothing that will drive any operator to deviate from its goal-setting approach. The only outline regulation is to provide a safe working environment, which the duty-holder is obligated to provide under the Health and Safety at Work Act.
Just rude people, just rude.

I completely agree.
For example, at the hour change change at the end of March the day length (sunrise - sunset) for me at 52°N is around 12h 50m. And at the end of October at the change back it's around 10h.
Can't see the logic in the asymmetry myself...maybe it's something to do with the effect of day length on Clotted Cream?
Nah there are probably arcane reasons.... The Romans used a form of daylight saving after all, possibly ancient Egypt too...
I bet it was tried- and dropped-in the Neolithic.... digging up an entire stone circle and moving each rock a few feet twice each year is too much like hard work.
