Clocks

Do you change your clocks in the UK (1 hr in spring and fall).
I wonder if this is the week-end we do that. I do not like this and I can't understand why they do it. The USA doesn't do it I don't think.

Re: Clocks

I guess we all agree on that, it is a pain you know where...
I don't mind the fall as much, because I can sleep in that extra hour, but spring really bothers me and I feel I am getting jipped.

I think it is this week-end. Guess I better google it. I wonder if the UK is the same week-end as us...

48 States do change their clocks.

America clocks change this Sunday, we do it at the end of March

One State who keeps their clocks the same all year round is Arizona.
