wildrover 98 | 4,451 28 Mar 2010 #1Is it about that time when the clocks go forward an hour , or back...or can they just move sideways a little....My Russian lady has just told me that we now have a three hour time difference , as she has put her clock forward tonight..it makes things a bit difficult to contact each other...Can i put my clock forward now..does anyone mind...?Would anyone object if Poland puts all the clocks forward three hours , it would make life easier for Ksusha and i ....Should i ask the Polish prime minister , or can i just go around and change all the clocks if nobody objects....is it today..or have i missed it...and if i have missed it , do i have to wait another year to change my clock..?Any answers to Szczecin mental hospital please...
SeanBM 35 | 5,808 28 Mar 2010 #2Does this not just prove that our method of timing our orbit is wrong?And while I am at it, why the heck isn't it 10 minutes to an hour and 10 seconds to a minute?Most other things follow the decimal system.Like a thief in the night we are robbed of an hour.
ShawnH 8 | 1,507 28 Mar 2010 #3I think they should change the time by a half hour (one time deal - split the difference) and never change them again.
OP wildrover 98 | 4,451 28 Mar 2010 #4Wow..my computer has changed the time..its gone forward one hour...great...!Sadly my wristwatch has stayed at the old time...so i am still an hour behind in some parts of my life....but i guess it will be right again when the clocks go back again in the winter....
frd 7 | 1,401 28 Mar 2010 #5wildrover: .but i guess it will be right again when the clocks go back again in the winter....that's my tactic, I just leave all these wall clocks alone ; )
shopgirl 6 | 928 28 Mar 2010 #6I think its best if the clocks are left alone.Who benefits from Daylight Savings anyway? Really, who?
OP wildrover 98 | 4,451 28 Mar 2010 #7People used to laugh at me back in Yorkshire because i had this wristwatch that i never used to wind up...The thing is the dam thing was always wrong if i wound it up , but if i didn,t wind it up , it was correct..two times every day...!
OP wildrover 98 | 4,451 28 Mar 2010 #9Well..i was supposed to..but i didn,t....I just set it to 12 oclock , and it was correct at lunch time and midnight..The rest of the time it was wrong of course...
Ajb 6 | 232 28 Mar 2010 #10I was amazing confused this morning, my pc, clock and even watch showed the same time.... even though the pc said it had changed....... hummmmmmmTurns out my missis woke up and changed things in the middle of the night.....even my watch....... weird!
shopgirl 6 | 928 28 Mar 2010 #11This winter I bought myself a sophisticated alarm clock that could accommodate two different alarm settings. It also featured an automatic "time change" so that it would not be necessary to change the time for Daylight Savings each season. But I live in a place that doesn't have Daylight Savings (which I never understood anyway) so I have to remember now to undo the automatic setting. *rolls eyes*

Steveramsfan 2 | 306 28 Mar 2010 #143x4 = 123x4x5 = 603x4x5x6 = 360360 degrees is a circle.Sundial is a circle. 360 / 30 = 1212 hours in day. 12 hours in night. Therefore 24 Hours in a day.Babylonians used these numbers. No one else saw fit to alter these things.
