Damn, it's so much better when you have somewhere to be in the morning when this happens.

Archaic system going back to a time when electricity was seen as a form of witch craft.

I wish they would scrap it all together. :x

Darkness...something, something daaaaarkness.

School hymn from a very long time ago that I can't remember. But it's a true hymn.

Darkness imprisoning me, all that I see, absolute horror?

That would make a good hymn.

Again, people are looking at this from the wrong angle. 1 hour gained is really strawberry float all, long-term. It also means that evenings are darker and it will be dark by 5, which is when most people leave work - a very bad thing.

I'd rather mornings were darker and evenings lighter. It means you get more sleep in the dark and a bit of lightness in the evening when you're free. :fp:

Yeah! I actually like the early dark evenings. I finish my work earlier than most, so there is still daylight. I also like getting home and sitting by the fire cosy as strawberry float either watching the telly, playing games or reading a good book.
I love this time of year!
