I like the October clock change. I wait till after sunrise and generation has started before I put the clocks back, that way you get an extra hour of sun/gen. In the Spring, I change the clocks when it's still dark, to avoid losing any sunshine. And don't worry if you forget, just live with it for a day, and change it the following night.Netexporter said:A measly 0.68 Os, for me. I blame all this messing about with the clocks!
