A reminder for all our North American friends to set their
clocks Forward one hour this morning. Thank you.

Now I get to lose an hour of sleep. Fuck!

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. ?
