As far as I am aware the general rule is that the clocks go forward on the last Sunday Morning in March and Back the last Sunday in October

to put it anotherway

Spring Forward
Fall Back

That reminds me I'm on gmt -1 Azores time to get the server clock adjusted to my computer clock. The server clock is also 5 mins slow as well.

We do know this Steve and agree that it is annoying, unfortunately there is nothing we can do about it as we are not in control of the server clock.

One of the jobs I was going to do tomorrow was go through and double check everyone's clock settings to get them right after the clocks change tonight.

That happened to a former line manager of mine when I used to work for QSP.

Usually the problems happen when the clocks go forward and people turn up late for church. As the editor of the church newsletter at is apparently my responsibility to make sure everyone sets their clocks right.

I once worked with a very dozy guy who turned up an hour late to work after the clocks went back. I would have given him some leeway, but this was a Monday morning and he'd had a WHOLE DAY to get adjusted to the new time!

Cruel person that I am, I made him work an extra hour at the end of the day!

The day after the clocks change I'm never sure what the time is ... some clocks need to be changed, some don't - like computers.

I'd actually have GMT all year round if it was up to me - that's the actual time for this country i.e noon is at 12.
