    That's just normal E7 times! Or 1-8 or 12-7.
    No region has E7 times until 9am

    At the moment my times are 00.15 - 07.15 so when the clocks go forward it will be 01.15 - 08.15. The time is gradually slipping it used to be midnight a few years ago.

    Times don;t vary from area to area (if you have a timeswich or internal clock within the meter - as opposed to a teleswitch). They vary from house to house!

    They can never have been as late as 9am surely? There must always be a huge demand surge at breakfast time (30 million kettles and toasters going on?) which would make it crazy to extend the E7 period as late as that.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
