Default Clocks change

UK clocks go back next weekend while Canada's clocks change the week after...time difference will be an hour less than usual for a week.

Yes, I know. I just leave that to someone else to point out.

I imagine that those living where the clocks don't change don't need telling their clocks don't change.

Why is the light switch marked "on" and "off" only in English?
Because the French know when the light is on and when it is off.

Now you've made me think. Obviously this can change when there's more than one light switch but where there's one switch only, in the UK it was always up for off and down for on. It's the other way around here but I don't remember the difference being one commented on. (or off)

But now that I'm looking at the switches on the wall they don't even say off/on. Maybe because we're a bilingual province and there's no room for four words.

It's really a thing to call it season?

I know there are lots of examples - tax season, patio season, construction season, flu season, school supplies season (did I make that one up?)...but time change season is a new one on me.

That's a novel way of looking at it. Maybe it will just seem like it.

When the clocks go back here everyone will crash into each other, we will lose many hours of work time due to tiredness and CBC will have a full evening news slot dedicated to how it seems that no one has ever put the clocks back ever before and now can't handle the darkness
