UK SUMMERTIME STARTS (BRRRR!)

by Hazed

Last weekend it snowed in London – again. Which makes the fact that the clocks go forward this weekend, heralding the start of British Summertime, quite absurd.

Still, we are officially in Spring now, despite the chilly weather. Last Tuesday was the vernal equinox, when the day and the night are the same length: https://www.theguardian.com/science/2018/mar/20/spring-equinox-marks-the-end-of-winter-amid-the-snow.

This means that I lost an hour’s sleep last night. It also puts the reset back to its ‘normal’ time for US players, because our two countries are back in sync. So from now you will experience the reset at 8.00am eastern.

Finally, a joke from Twitter, by comedian Gary Delaney (@GaryDelaney) – I’ve just put my clock forward, and now it's fallen off the mantelpiece.
