Clocks Go Forward Today In the UK - need to co-ordinate with Singapore and other countries

 


UK

Today in the UK clocks have gone forward. In London my famly who got up after 1 am Sunday morning found that the radio active clocks and computers had changed time. A kitchen oven clock, microwave and wristwatch had to be re-set to an hour later.

I remember at a book group which met on Sunday afternoons there was always one person who arrived at the wrong time.  Fortunately, if you are half an hour later in the springime, you arrive early. (But in the autumn if you have not reset your clocks you are an hour late.)

USA

The USA has a long history of daylight saving time, back to WW1.

Australia is upside down compared to the UK. Their dates are different.

If you are holding an event on Sunday, it's a good idea to remind everybody who is likely to be attending. 

The time change is set on Sunday to have the least impact on businesses, schools and life in general.
