I changed all the clocks last week, except the clock on my mobile phone, which I use as my alarm clock....and set the correct time I wanted to get up, and it went off at the wrong time!!
Fortunately, I always set my alarm for an hour before I actually get up....I like to press snooze a couple of times!

I think they made daylight savings time so everyone could show up late for work with an excuse.

Anyone one know the real reason....I thought it was to do with kids walking to school in the dark in the winter. Although back in the sixites I think....there were times when they didn't change the clocks - anyone confirm this?

isn't it something to do with minimizing the use of lights and lamps etc. ?
