Martin you owe me a pint!

Having seen in the top left of this website Martin's smiley face confidently announcing clocks go forward at 2am, when I was out last night and a heated debate arose about what time BST came into force, I had no hesitation in wagering a pint of best on the subject.
A quick bit of research found that in fact 1am is the time the clocks go forward, thus doing me out of the princley sum of £2.40. Grrr, that's the last time I take Martin's advice on anything!
