Attention all Brits, don't forget to put your clocks back tonight, it is the end of BST. I guess this means driving to work in the semi-dark and driving home in the dark, winter is around the corner.

When do the clocks change in other parts of the world?

Most of Canada changes tonight.

The US changes tonight as well. Or rather it does at 2:00 a.m. All states except Arizona, and parts of Indiana, I believe.

Our clocks change tonight as well, at 3 AM it will be 2 AM again.

Ours don't change at all. If you're living in the Middle East, you're never, ever, going to be short of sunlight.

Why are we still doing this? Actually, I guess I could say, why did they ever start DST? Yes, I know it was so the farmers could have more daylight - but why couldn't they just wake up earlier instead of trying to get everyone in the world to switch times?

It seems to me that that would have been/would be a lot easier than asking everyone to switch their clocks at the same time.

In the Far East too. We don't go in for all that rubbish. We just get up early to get the work done before the heat sets in. I am up at 5 am every morning.
