Nice one. I personally haven't a clue what time it is and haven't had a clue since last October when I sent all my clocks back. Cheers - Gary

Wish they'd leave the damn things alone forward back grrr. Remember once a few years ago we were in Turkey and had time to spare or so we thought. They'd gone forward, one mad dash to the airport lol. Greetings from Crete. Tom

Good man Tom, you’re definitely in the right place at the right time, pretty cold wet and windy here, yeah hour going forward is a real nuisance, and messed with the body clock, hope/know you’re enjoying the sun, cheers David

Spring forward on the clock Anaya, it cracks me up every year lol! Yeah innit is good old English colloquialism for (isn’t it), I need to get more inspired for writing, on a bit of a lull at the moment, cheers David
