'They' actually advise you to do it around 03.00 but sod that, it's looking like a glorious biking day tomorrow, so I for one am not going to wait up till stupid o'clock to set the clocks forward. May as well do tonight...before bed... hence the reminder, clearly. Thumbs Up Idea

At what actual time do you have to put the clock forward? My flight home leaves at 6am man, it is important that I know this!

Well, the clock goes back at 2am (back to 1am) so I imagine that in order to ensure cosmic and karmic balance at 1am it goes to 2am...

Hate losing an hour of sleep in spring, but I hate the clocks going the other way too as I once turned up for work an hour early. I normally started at 4am, two hours before the next guy got in, it was only when I thought he was late that I realised, too late by then

There's nothing like the simple task of putting the clocks forward by 1 hour to highlight all the potatoes.
