Did you put all your clocks BACK last night?

Yes, without asking the clocks all over Europe went back by an hour in the middle of the night - at 3 a.m. to be exact, which became 2 a.m. all by itself, the little bu ... no hang on, we got an extra hour this morning! Where's it gone? And have you changed all the clocks in the house? The one in the kitchen? On your wrist? Oh, and in the car? Don't say we didn't warn you...

Clocks go BACK tonight

Three in the morning and all is dark. Suddenly, a miracle happens all over Europe, without much fanfare, no noise, no commotion. Three becomes two - just like that! So remember to put your clocks BACK by one hour before you hit the sack, or when you get home, whichever comes last. Yes, you get an extra hour on Sunday morning but don't tell anyone, or they'll put you to work (you know what spouses and partners are like).

Clocks go BACK on Saturday

Yes, the clocks in Europe go BACK one hour at 3 a.m. on the night of Saturday, October 29 (but really Sunday morning in the wee hours ) - and we recover the hour we lost when they went forward in Spring. So, remember to put your clocks back and don't say we didn't warn (as we have since we went live in March 2007).
