    To all folks on our side of the pond, remember clocks go back one hour tonight.

    Or is it forward?

    happy swinging!

    Used to be that way, Andy ... but George W. Bush felt he wanted to get into the record books with a change to DST.  This year it's Nov 3rd at 2 AM (or 2:05 if your in a drinking establishment).

    As a kid I loved DST ... it made it dark earlier, so you got 1 more hour of "Trick-or-treating".  Now, it just means get home when it's dark.

    As the original post refers to here in the UK - clocks go back 1 hour as of 2:00 am, Sunday morning, 27th October.

    No idea, other than the info in previous posts, how it works in the US.

    UK is currently on DST which is 1 hour ahead of Zulu time or UTC, which is also the same as GMT and this will all change as of 2 am Sunday, when GB will revert to UTC.

    Put ur clocks back or put them forward  23 hours, same same unless of course u have an integrated  date . 

    Doesn't affect me apart from having to wait an extra hour before I downlaod US and UK TV shows. Dammit.

    1i refreshingly imperfect

    Sorry ... didn't pay close enough attention to the Union Jack from the OP's post.  US it's Nov 3rd.
