    hope no one changes their clocks tonight :eek: ...or there'll be a lot of people late for work :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Now you have me confused because surely you will be an hour early not late??!!

    The clocks will go forward 1 hour as it's Spring (e.g. "spring" forward an hour vs. autumn or "fall" back an hour).

    That is, if it was 8.30am (old time) this weekend it will change to 9.30am (new time).

    No I'm confused now lol erm...

    If "old time" is 8.30am (and that's when I start work) but "new time" says it's 9.30am then surely I'd be an hour late??

    Oh lol I dunno, I am blonde so don't take my word for it!! Hehe :)
