Interesting that. When did it change to a 01:00 start - always used to
be 02:00 as I remember it.

About time we changed to euro time, that extra hour of Sunshine. After all
this week we lost Land rover-Jag, we lost the football and England is the
laughing stock of the world with the mess at terminal 5. Loosing the
british summer time would be a bonus Lets have CET

Why is it people don't actually <read> what is written.

I don't want or need to be told when and why we change to BST, just when
the start and stop <time> change from 02:00 to 01:00? Maybe at the same
time as Europe came in line with us and changed at the last Sunday in
October?

I now make it 02:03 BST. That website still thinks it's 01:03. :-)

My radio controlled clock did not receive any instruction from the National
Time Signal transmitter at Anthorn to go forward 1 hour until 2:02 GMT.
Looks as if the National Physical Laboratory don't know about the 1:00
GMT/2:00 BST changeover.

Great! That compounds my theory then.

In fact thinking back I'm sure BST started at 02:00 last year, so again
I ask, why the change?

They tried that a long time ago but the farmers and other anti-summertime
protesters complained.
I thought it was great although the early mornings were a bit dull to start
off the day.

As also did my PC - just goes to prove that it is Bill Gates who is behind
the 1:00am changeover.

Indeed they don't! That's because the time shift was scheduled
for 02:00 "GMT" (UTC (NPL)).

Thanks, MatSav.
Seems that my clock went forward at/near the NPL scheduled advance time
after all. Now it is up to {{{{{Welcome}}}}} to capitalise on his clock
making the correction 1 hour ahead of the scheduled time. Suggest he marry
his clock to a radio or TV and get the racing results 1 hour earlier.

I'll keep this simple for you. I know that you are truly hard of thinking.

For as long as I can remember on this NG you have attempted, with no
success, to get people to adjust their clocks in the wrong direction.

Why don't you take the hint and

a) learn that you fool nobody

b) do the world a favour by copulating elsewhere and expiring.

c) never posting your idiocy here ever again
