I am not sure about the remainder of the world but you can check on yours to see if anything is due to happen.

Ours in the US and Canada are next week, so we will be five hours apart (Texas time) for the next week. As of this post, it should be 2:55am Sue time.

It is now that I have changed my setting by an hour, presumably I will need to change them again next week. frown

Well we are now in the part of the year where the clock in my car is more or less correct, just a couple of minutes slow. I can't change the clock myself so just leave it all year, part of the year it is fine(ish), part it is an hour(ish) wrong.

Unfortunately, whilst we have put the clocks back an hour and reverted to GMT. nobody has altered the "body clock" of cats!
At 0515 GMT I was awoken by two very worried (and probably hungry) cats. "Dad.......Dad.........DAD, it's 0615 and time for breakfast" .

I thought I had slept in this morning; surely 8am is not this light!, I thought. Took me a minute to realize what had happened. laugh

US and Canada are tonight!

I don't know about others' feelings, but I wish they'd leave the clocks alone!

Not having Daylight Savings Time, it doesn't affect me, but it's a pain when trying to keep track of time zones...

I feel the same way. We don't have it here in Arizona and I like it that way! But I forgot that it changed last night and ended up calling my sister too early this morning because she does, LoL.

I'm not there at the moment.

Exactly halfway round the world and exactly twelve hours ahead. Well, with DST that makes us thirteen hours ahead. Bother.
