Guest Jayfire Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 (edited) I was talking to my mate and he said, "Don't forget the clocks go forward this weekend."I replied, "They go forward all the time, you clown!"

Roy Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 I think we should leave the clocks how they are now there really isn’t any need to change back in the autumn in my opinion all it does is messes everybody’s body clocks around. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveO Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Another early 20th century practice that should be ditched in my view, along with bank holidays (no banks any more), the daily commute and the fixed toll season for boats. As things stand, I leave around half my clocks - the ones "embedded" in phones, and other electrical equipment - permanently on BST as it is too much trouble to keep changing them. I was under the impression that the EU was looking to do away with clock adjustments some time soon. Perhaps we should do the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 yes, i believe it was planned for autumn when they changed back again, that they would stay changed back after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I couldn’t care less what they are called. It’s the day off I care about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNog Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 I can vaguely recall when they didn't change them back in the autumn and children were going to school in the dark. Caused uproar I seem to remember, it didn't last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think it is crazy that people all turn out on the same day for a bank holiday weekend. The weather is often rubbish, the transport system can't cope, there is nowhere to park when you get there and the pubs are heaving. What's the point?

BroadAmbition Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 None really but it does put us all in it together. Some of the bank holidays on the rivers make for an interesting time, especially the late May one. Probably the busiest stretch of water way I ever saw was one year along St Benets straight. We were cruising up river with a mate on the helm, we rounded the slight bend, a mate was on the helm, it looked like chaos with hardly any oggin on view. He took one look at all the craft in front of us including many rag-n-sticks and declared he needed the heads, handing over to me (Lying swine didn't of course) Gentle calm easy cruising through to Ranworth dam it certainly wasn't Griff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YnysMon Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 I like having the bank holidays too. If there are two of you working (or even four or more if you have adult children living at home) it means you can have a nice family day out without having to negotiate the leave. Unless you work in retail that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanessan Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 We are normally aboard when the clocks go forward, the sheer joy that BST has arrived. 😁 (Mind you, we’re often on board when the clocks go back too and that’s a real gloomy feeling! 🙁) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
