Clocks change (UK)
 
The UK clocks go back an hour this weekend. Canada follows the weekend after (except those bits that don't ;)) so the time difference increases by an hour for a week.

Don't you mean an hour less?

So the UK will be going from 2am to 1am on Sunday morning...which means for us they are only 3 hours ahead then of the Maritimes or 4 ahead of Central Canada... ;)

It's the thought that counts Bristol - what's an hour (or two) between friends?

Now that the nights are starting to get darker again, how about BE running a competition to win a big, powerful torch (flashlight)?

I think it went from UK being 7 hours ahead to 6 hours ahead of Central Canada. Ontario is in Eastern Canada (though I can understand why they pretend).

Well my research shows...

Time in Canada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

However...

No wonder I'm confused!!!

I'd consider parts of Ontario central Canada and part consider Eastern depending where in the province you are.

But I am not an expert, this is just how I refer to it.
