Hi all,
Just a quick reminder that the clocks go forward TONIGHT!
Then tomorrow, on Sunday, March 28, we will move to British Summer Time (BST) – at 1am, to be precise.
And the only way I can ever remember which way round it is, is by repeating the (American-ised

Just curious, does anybody have a different way of remembering the clocks going forward or back?
And also, has anybody had any unfortunate mishaps where they completely forgot about it? I know I have

Hi @Caz_Scope apparently the fall was an English expression for autumn which went to America not the other way around.

‘The word “fall” comes from the Old English feallan, which means, “to drop from a height, fail, decay, die.” Over time, of course, the phrase “fall of the leaf” was shortened simply to “fall.”’

Thanks everyone!
I'm glad to know that it's not just me then, @lisathomas50 and @janer1967
That's really interesting as well @leecal. I like the word 'feallan' - it has a lovely ring to it!
