Clocks go forward this weekend - not UK yet
The clocks are springing forward an hour this weekend but the UK doesn't do theirs until the end of March.
The normal time difference will be reduced by an hour for three weeks.

DST in BC is a load of old bollocks. Keep the time to DST all year long to match that of northern BC. It makes no sense to have Kamloops at one time, and Fort St John at another for 6 months of the year.

Learned something new today, had no idea there were parts of BC in a different time zone.

Premier Horgan was on the Global news tonight, seeming to say that BC and the3 western US states are talking about getting rid of DST.
Will it happen?? Who knows!!

Re: Clocks go forward this weekend - not UK yet
Well dependent on your views Sunday might be considered the slowest day of the week and therefore easier for all concerned to change their clocks based on the premise that there are fewer people working on a Sunday than other days of the week. Yes, I agree you lose an hours sleep when they spring forward and most of us don't relish Monday mornings back to work at the best of times but we also have the advantage of gaining an hours sleep when the clocks fall back. I am sure there is a better explanation on Google than mine.

Any idea what that area is in BC along the US border that appears as yellow and also in Ontario west of Thunder Bay or are those 'typos'. I gather Saskatchewan, except for Lloydminster don't use DST.
That map of Arizona is crazy. It reminds me of this in terms of a border.
