Clocks forward folks; off into BST we go.
For one beautiful moment when I looked at the time this morning I thought I had caught up on some sleep.

In this day in age I don't know why we still do this. Like just keep it one way or the other ๐คฃ
I like it - lovely long summer evenings, now that it's plenty light enough in the morning.
That's fair. Just seems like the more revolutions around the sun I make the longer it takes me to adjust ๐

Wait North American and UK doesnt (edit: fixed gammar) even do DST at the same time? I thought that was half the point of it,so 'everyone' stays the same as always. I swear I've heard about ditching DST for years here in BC Canada but still had that week from hell earlier this month.
I guess there's an argument that UK and North America are far enough off that it doesn't matter, but I just hate time change. Actually I hate most change but this seems worse cause it's government mandated twice a year. When I was partying it was fun to have an extra hour once per year but I'm old now.
George W changed that in the early 2000's here in the US.
Isn't it the opposite? Sun is rising late, so less likely to be woken up by sun (if that's the joke).
Not quite - you're trying to move your sleeping and waking schedules 1 hour earlier.
It's a rough one unless you're already an early riser.
When the clocks go back, however, you're moving things 1 hour later, which is a lot easier!
But there will be sunlight, takes us a while to adjust.
