Clocks Went Forward?
 

Just tried to catch the last few minutes of today's FTSE trading only to find it had closed early. Presumably BST started yesterday? Spring forward, fall back!

Yep, only 3 hours difference between us and the UK now.

Re: Clocks Went Forward?
 

I thought it was 3 hrs anyway? Does that increase to four hours in the winter months then?

Re: Clocks Went Forward?
 

Nope, it's been a couple of weeks (at least 4 weeks as far as I remember) now, that I noticed the European markets were closing an hour early....

Re: Clocks Went Forward?
 

Nope. BST started yesterday.

Re: Clocks Went Forward?
 

Yep, called the parents yesterday and they told me. Only 3 hrs difference now. Doesn't make a blind bit of difference to me!
I presume the UAE are too lazy to bother changing times etc?

Can recommedn downloading igoogle as your home page - you can chose various features, including "world clocks". You set your local time and wherever else in the world you deal with and it sets the time there automatically.

Yeah, you can have all sorts of stuff on there. I have it showing the weather back home and over here! :thumbup:

no need to change when you start getting this close to the equator

I set it in a way that it rains indoors during the hot summer months...

:rofl:
That's be a good idea. Don't how the laptop would fair though!!

Don't you watch any live Premier League football? It will now start an hour earlier...

Re: Clocks Went Forward?
 

it does to me, means if the toon are playing on a sunday at 3pm its 6pm here rather than 7pm, I finish work at 6 so it means I have to somehow leave early

:(

But it makes Monday night games that much more manageable!

Re: Clocks Went Forward?
 

ah, now that is a good point
