Remember the clocks go forward tonight

I forgot until someone reminded me a few minutes ago.

 

We will all lose an hours sleep

Cool, an extra hour in the boozer then.

The best news so far this year.

Hmmmm, an hour nearer relegation, methinks that's not a clever move.

Possibly, but a change into BST, which makes all the difference to me.

If you are not working or have nothing planned then there is no reason to lose any sleep

I am working tonight til two, so I'm guessing it'll technically be three. Right? I can never fathom these things out.

Mr TF reckons he loses out if he's working a night shift when this happens. But they do a deal where the day shift comes in half an hour early and his shift finishes half an hour early.

 

It sorts itself out over time.

We gain on the night shift. 12 hours pay for 11 hours attendance. Hurts in October though if on nights. 13 hours attendance for 12 hours pay.

 

Swings and roundabouts though.

I need to get my head around this Mrs TF. I think someone is taking the **** out if the night shift tbh.

When I used to work as a 'bar person' in Felix Park in Eastleigh, as soon as the clock hit 2am on the night the clocks went forward, it became 1am and we used to stay open an extra hour without any pay. However the management did let us drink the bar dry after we finished to make up for it.

Well I'm still at work, my shift officially finshes at half one, and I've just watched the clocks jump from 1am to 2am. This shift is now dragging like a sod. :-(

 

On the flip side, only 3 hours from when I get home until the F1 starts, not 4.

No, the clocks went forward, so it became 3am. I think you perhaps drank the bar too dry.

Surely that would happen in October when the clocks go BACK?

Well that doesn't sound like work at all...that sounds like playing...

I remember the 1970's experiment with British Standard Time. It was superb having those summer evenings that seemed to go on forever [not literally, obviously]. Being on the beach at 9pm, and it still being balmy. Felt like the mediterranean. Let's have it back. And as I've always said... b******* to Scotland..!

[Kadeem Hardison]

What a waste of time.

[jawillwill]

Didn't the clocks go forward last night as well? :confused:

I won't bother pwning you for this as you've done a grand job yourself (as usual) and others have piled in already.

 

When you say 'bar person', do you in fact mean 'barmaid'?

I am a bit concerned about it but I won't lose any sleep over this.
