Forgot To Put The Clocks Forward

Anyone else forget to put their clocks forward last night?

I did

Mrs. C was late for work this morning

Normally the local paper reminds me on their front page

I thought my phone would automatically change, obviously not. Not much of an excuse but it'll do me

Not sure how daylight savings works across the globe

but willing to be enlightened

Here in the U.S., it was 2 weeks ago. I did forget, and was almost late for a familly reunion.

The news industry is so all over it that you have a hard time not noticing.

The TV is hardly on in our house over the weekend and if it is it's either kid's TV or Xbox

I'll put reminders on my phone for the next few changes

Well I did put the clocks forward. I was getting up to watch the F1 6am, so it effectively felt like 5am.

Good job it was a cracking race.

I still haven't put some of my clocks forward, despite us doing it at the same time as the US these days. Most of my clocks synchronize with atomic clocks somewhere, so I'm usually ok, and my PC clock and phone clock sync with a server, so it's just my watches and a couple of wall clocks left.

My phone automatically changed as did my telly, the phone got it right. The telly is now 15 minutes fast, and I thought it got its time from the BBC

My phone didn't do it

Which is a shame as that's my alarm in the morning
