Default UK goes back an hour tonight

The UK puts the clocks back tonight but we do it next week. So for a week we'll be an hour less behind than usual.

Those who watch footie should beware of advertised TV times for Sunday to next Saturday. The sites I've seen have it wrong.

Liverpool-ManU kicks off UK time at 1.00 pm on Sunday, so that's 10.00 am for me (9.00 am ET) but the sites I usually check are showing 10.00 ET. You'll miss an hour if you go by them.

True, but published kick off times in the Guardian have always reflected the GMT/BST/GMT changes in the past.

If they are right this time, then everone else is wrong. BBC, The Times and Liverpool's site are all saying 2.00.
