Change those clocks yet? You should've put them forward overnight

Oh, you did it already? Never mind.

HAVE YOU CHANGED your clocks yet?

It was spring forward overnight as the clocks jumped ahead an hour. 

Here’s what you need to know: 

  • Daylight Saving Time STARTED at 1am when clocks should have been put forward to 2am.
  • Sunrise and sunset will be an HOUR LATER from today.

The clocks will go back again on Sunday 27 October.

    Everyone lost an hour last night.

    Or if you saw ‘The Voice’, two and a half hours.

    @Arya: There’s very little else to watch on a Saturday night.
    Plus, I just don’t think it’s possible to dislike Tom Jones.
