    Does everyone like Daylight Saving?
    We have turned our clocks forward one hour.
    My body clock has a hard time getting used to the changes.
    At least the plants like the extra hour of sunlight. :nod:

    Laughing here as plants, and animals, don't actually know much about time and the way we mess around with it.
    For me, I actually look forward to when the clocks go back to correct Grenwich Mean time, this silly business of getting up an hour earlier in the mornings during our summer, does as you say, mess up the body clock, I never seem to stop feeling tired in summer.

    Hi Nev. I was wondering who would be a wake up to the Plants/Daylight saving trap. :jump:

    I love it when the clocks go forward in England. I play crown green bowls, three league games per week, and darker evenings mean earlier starts, which is difficult for the unfortunates who still work. Not that that includes me.

    Clocks have gone back 1 hr here and it does affect the body clock.
    My Wife has to get up at 2.30am now for work instead of 3.30am.

    Surely you mean FORWARD. They have just gone back in the UK.

    Like Andsome I love the lighter evenings so as to play golf.

    We were up in Scotland earlier this year and it stayed so light you could have had three rounds a day as it did not get darker (and in fact it never went completely dark) until 22:30. We had a meal outside a pub at 21:00 and it was still light.

    Great course with fantastic views by the way http://www.golfing-scotland.com/courses/brora.asp
