sobriqueOK, so which sadist came up with the idea of sneakily stealing an hour?
First sunday after equinox, we put the clocks forward. Meaning it's now an hour earlier than it was last week.
It's very Orwellian don't you think? I mean, in as much as time is an arbitrary division of the day anyway. But rather than just going "we'll we're going to alter working hours the week after each equinox" instead we tell ourselves (in a deep and sonorous voice) that "It is now 7am. Anyone who thinks it is 6am is misguided and wrong, and should be reported to the Ministry of Day".
Oh well, I'll feel better once I've sorted out that coffee.
