I completely understand! I used to drive National Express coaches and 2 years ago, before I retired, I forgot the clocks were due to change and turned up at my first pick up and hour late. Oops! 😬

eek! 

iv been in work before i was supposed to be and omg you get the piss ripped out of you so bad and everytime the clocks change people would make remarks lol

i think the nearest to complete disaster iv come is returning to UK from Bulgaria on a clock change day without knowing it  had changed.  good job i always give plenty of time  to drive down the mountain from Samokov

All my devices change automatically,  even my wristwatch changes. it is just 2 wall clocks I have to change manually.  Oh, and the oven.


When to change isn't hard to forget. Last Sunday of March the clock Spring forward, the last Sunday of October they Fall back.

@SimCityAT Hope you have the hammer handy for the oven. ;)

Haha I never bother with it. When we have a power cut for 30 mins it is too much trouble to keep on changing it. Everything else just corrects itself. Like, Alexa, my TV, and landline telephones.
