End of British Summer time

Just a nudge of a reminder.

In the UK, clocks go back one hour today.

I remembered but the pets still expected feeding at the usual time!

P.S. Expect the usual "How do I set the time on my cluster/COMAND " posts to come flooding in

Would you believe that I set my alarm for 2am so that I could put my clocks back?

Gentlemen !
I did not actually set my alarm, I was just asking if you would believe that I did so.

Not how it reads
Now if you had have said 'Would you believe me if I said that I set my alarm for 2am so that I could put my clocks back?' then maybe we would believe you

Reminds me of when I was young and you had the girl with the doll as a test card.
Also, at the end of the nights tv shows, they used to play the National Anthem and remind you to turn your tv off. Then the picture disappeared into a dot in the centre of the screen with the annoying high pitched screech.

Unfortunately, I am old enough to remember television shutting down for a couple of hours or so every Sunday about 5pm and then coming back on about 7.
Apparently it was so people didn't have an excuse not to go to church.

How times change..............

Tip

Leave your alarm clock on BST, then you get an extra hour in bed every morning.

Well, my car knew all about the time change! Got in this morning and the time was correct (and, yes, it was showing BST yesterday) 2004/54 C270

This one?

A tiny morsel of information a few might find mildly interesting.
Was anybody aware that the "X" on the blackboard marked the EXACT centre point of the TV screen? This was just one of many little bits of information tv engineers knew and used when setting up a television

What she looks like now...............

Except on test card 'F' (the one shown), the X is slightly off centre. On the new 'J' and 'W' variants, they corrected this, but alas they are rarely shown these days.

Haven't checked to see if my car has automagically updated. Computers / TV did, oven / microwave / heating didn't. If only they'd broadcast time signals via the mains as well as from Rugby clock / GPS.
