I always look forward to the clocks going forward, summer on it's way, longer day smile

I just wish they could make up their minds and leave it on BST

Get up earlier, but it is still light when you get home

Bad for students, good for the employed

So this negates them making the F1 a bit later then? We lose that advantage?

Balls I was planning to get rid of loads of stuff at a car-boot this Sunday so it will be a 3:30am get up instead of a 4:30am get up.

sun rises between 06.45 and 07:15 every morning and sets between 18:45 and 19:15 every evening year in year out ... almost a constant 12 hours light and 12 hours dark, the beauty of living on the equator, bodyclock does not get fvcked up!

I'm studying Yachtmaster at the moment, time zones the bane of my life....

So, it's UT Northern Time in April, what's the tidal drift between 17.33 and 19.33 at a point 2 miles off the eddystone lighthouse at 273 degrees.

Tidal bit is easy, working out the time is surprisingly a lot darned harder!

The downside is not much time after work to get a few sundowners in.
