Its that time of year again...its an extra hour in bed or maybe you will do something extra with that time...the penalty being soon it will be dark 4.30/5 on a cloudy day..i find November the drabbest month of the year and look forward to early january when it starts to stay light longer...how badly does it effect your 'body clock'

As I get up at 4:45 every day, it's been dark for many weeks. Will be very dark when I get back from London in the evenings though.

Working nights, so a 12 hour shift becomes 13 hours.

Still, hopefully when the sweaties divorce us, we can stop pissing about with the clocks and just have "English Time"

I always find the commute that much harder once the clocks go back. It's depressing both leaving and getting home in the dark.

I hate the commute at that time. Thankfully I am normally based near home but when I have to go to London for a few weeks over winter it's so depressing that the first bit of sunlight I see is when I exit the tube and the last is as I get back on it in the afternoon. Leaving and getting home in the dark should not be legal

I guess. I try not to think about it.

So Sunday evening brings us darkness at 5pm, coupled with 'the worst storm in 3 decades'.

Anyone got any nice plans?

Whenever the clocks changed it proved impossible for half of my Sunday league team to be in the right place at the right time. Then again we were a bunch of talentless drunken idiots.

I always roll back the year on my clock at hour changing time, half-hoping i'll be sent back magically to Dorothy Stringer to punch Mr Dudson in the mullet and guts and maybe have a tad more confidence with the females and brush my teeth more and study a little harder in the world of science so my occasionally feigned boffinness could have some factual nous beneath it. It never happens though. I remain here with a past of no great note, on the slippery slope to extreme ordinariness. I curse you Cronos, and your ungiving ways.

One of the many reasons I love living here is it never gets dark before 6.30 pm even in the middle of winter. We are 5 degrees west of Brighton plus one hour ahead so it gets dark roughly 1 hour 40 minutes later than it did in Brighton.
