Just a reminder...
In the UK the clocks will go forward 1 hour at 02-00:hrs on Sunday March, 28th 2021/2564
Thus the clocks are 1 hour ahead therefore it will be British Summer Time (BST).

I hope to lose a hungover hour...and not a drinking and carousing one.

They tried bringing daylight savings in, in Queensland. But everyone turned up at the bus stop with their morning erection.

Since (most of) the E.U. is East of Britain and already one hour ahead one might say you're following No chance rubl ! How does the old saying go, something along the lines of "history is a great teacher" Just look at the behavior of the so called leaders or people in charge of the EU over the Covid 19 vaccinations. First they start moaning about the unfair distribution of the drug, even though everyone had the same chance to secure purchase. Then they started going on about companies not for filling contractual obligations. Which they were told to sit the <duck> back down, shut up and get their facts straight before pointing fingers. Oh then it was the old, it's not safe to use in which the WHO put them back in their place and now we are back to crying because they are not getting enough vaccines again, even when France has admitted now for being slow off the mark and Italy is sitting on 30 million vaccines that look like they are going to be thrown away. My suggestion to Germany is to start concentrating on things that are important in life. Rather than designing cars that can go faster, that kill and to stop trying to bully the rest of Europe to follow their ingrained ignorance in thinking they are right all the time. I would also suggest that France stop being Germany's little lap dog and grow a pair ! God knows the rest of the world are getting a bit tired of bailing them out. Italy and Spain to stop throwing their arms in the air and blowing like the wind. You can always go back to the good old days of fascist dictatorship you know. And for the rest of Europe and yes rubl that includes Holland/the Netherlands, how about easing up on the reefers and trying to be all lovely,politically correct and use that matter stuck on you shoulders. As for the clock i believe a man by the name of W. WILLET from Kent in England came up with the idea. In which recently the EU has decided to do away with in the near future.

Actually a lot of truth in what you say tigerfish but the bottom line is there are currently not enough vaccines out there.
So the world must wait....the real muppets in this are middle class anti-vaxxers.

No need to quote the post from tigerfish again but it had me thinking of the bail out / bale out question. I always thought of the first as solely when somebody gets somebody else out of the nick and the second when baling hay, water from a floating vessel or when somebody does a runner on you leaving you in the mire. TF sees things differently, as after a bit of googling I see that others do too. But it is not universal either way.
My fault for waking early on a Sunday with no hangover. Yes I did say waking.
Excellent post TF, possibly a bit easy on Holland whose citizens in the main are decent enough coves but collectively make one slightly uneasy.

It is interesting to see what emotions a simple 'set the clock one hour ahead' calls up.
