J.A.W. Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 (edited) Just a reminder: the clocks go back an hour in Europe tonight. Back to those cozy winter days... Edited October 29, 2005 by J.A.W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejp626 Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 I saw this in the paper but not on the news so far. How long has this been going on, and it is an attempt to keep the EU sort of in sync with the US? In other words, if the US really goes ahead and changes its Daylight Savings will the EU follow suit?

The time differences between the EU and the United States are 5-10 hours (depends on where you are), so an hour more or less wouldn't make any difference. Edited October 29, 2005 by J.A.W.

rostasi Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 OK, I have a very pressing question... If you have an analog clock that's one of those "radio controlled" ones that's supposed to keep perfect time, does the clock go backward one hour at 2AM or does it go forward 11 hours? Certainly it doesn't just STOP for one hour does it? I'm trying to figure out if I'm gonna get up at 2AM to watch it and get an answer...

rostasi Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 Hans! Really? I was thinking that would be the lesser of the possibilities. So time actually stood still for an hour! ..... ....... Last night I awoke in the middle of a dream (Frank Zappa and I were talking about technology - hee, hee ) and I was 25 minutes too late - my analog wall clock was already at 1:25 while the unchanged ones still had 2:25. Thanks Hans! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
