Fall Forward Thanks for the tip. I can just imagine how many people miss flights and other appointments the day after the time change. It's a funny thing but I always thought it was the other way around. Spring forward, Fall back Makes more sense given that we wind our clocks back this Winter after having wound them forward in the Spring. Maybe the US does it differently??? Krypsis |

Not quite sure why you mention GMT, as that is the time zone we use in the UK during the winter (Grenwich Mean Time). Also curious why you put your clock back an hour, over here we put ours forward one hour for the summer. Also for those here in the UK, we don't change out clocks until the last Sunday in march.

Mexico continues to observe the last Sunday of March to last Sunday of October schedule as we used to Except, according to Wikipedia As of December 2009, the Mexican Congress gave permission to these ten northern border cities to synchronize their time to that of their US counterparts: Matamoros, Tamaulipas Reynosa, Tamaulipas Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas Anahuac, Nuevo Leon Acuna, Coahuila Piedras Negras, Coahuila Ojinaga, Chihuahua Juarez, Chihuahua Mexicali, Baja California Tijuana, Baja California And I read somewhere that unsurprisingly the Mexican Stock Exchange observes daylight savings time during the same periods as the rest of North America. |

It begins 3 weeks before it used to and ends 1 week after it used to. Since Halloween always fell on standard time, it was fun as kids to go out in the dark. Now that doesn't happen as Halloween is now on daylight time. They were talking about putting the clocks 2 hours forward here, as apparently they reckon it would help tourism. I'm not sure why, as we already get plenty of light in the evenings during the summer. In June, sunset doesn't come until about 9:00 pm, and it's still fairly light until almost 10pm. Putting the the clocks forward 2 hours would mean, in June, it wouldn't get dark until about 11pm, and it would be even later in Scotland as they are both further North and further West. Richard E. |

Methinks thou dost fret too much. There are far sadder things in this world than clock changes. Such as Digital radio broadcast at such low quality, it's not worth listening to. |
