Some hotels have clocks in reception showing the times around the world. In London we have a radio controlled clock which updates itself, and we use this to correct all the others. We need to change the cooker clock, the battery operated wall clocks, our watches, and the car clock.
When you are attending events online in another country you often need to know the time in your country on the day of the event.
In the UK we have the saying, spring forward and fall back.
Tip
I keep a chart in the front of my diary. I have it both ways. UK Singapore in one column, Singapore UK in another. Then when the clocks change, I need another colour pen to write the new times.
Note that different countries have different dates for the clock changes. Daylight saving times are on different dates. Australia has the opposite seasons, and different dates.
