Default Clocks Go Forward :Sun, 31 Mar 2024 – Sun, 27 Oct 2024

Stop the Bloody Time change



If I had a Time Machine
I would go back
And Shoot Benjamin Franklin in his head
just before he was going to bring in his
Clock changing.



[Why do we change the clocks?
An American politician and inventor
called Benjamin Franklin first came up
with the idea while in Paris in 1784.
He suggested that if people got up earlier,
when it was lighter, then it would save
on candles.]



Of Course all our Clocks
are all Radio Controlled
the only way to be.

I forgot it was happening and we were watching a show on the laptop - phones/laptop change automatically so imagine my confusion for a second when we had started a single episode at 12.45 and when it finished it was 2.30am

Our Time Scales
are now being changed
as the earth is not spinning as fast
due to Global Warming.

Just debated Live on Times Radio Free Online

[Slightly slowing the Earth's rotation.
The effect is that global timekeepers may need
to subtract a second from our clocks
later than would otherwise have been the case.]

ideal for councils to put another £300 on council tax to fit new corrected clocks to everyone's homes, plus add £40 onto bin collection costs as binmen are having to rush more as there is less time
