Clocks Go Back Tomorrow


This weekend marks the end of British Summer Time, with the clocks going back on Sunday 25 October 2009. If you don't remember this on Sunday morning, you may start to wonder why everyone else is late.

The change will bring brighter mornings, but darker nights. Avoid confusion - and missed appointments - by getting ready in advance. If you reset your household clocks and time-based equipment on Saturday night, you won't spend Sunday trying to figure out what is going on, and when.

British Summer Time (BST) starts on the last Sunday in March and ends on the last Sunday in October, at 01.00 am Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).

Since 2002, the clocks have changed on standard dates throughout the EU, making things easier for travellers. Britain and Ireland constantly remain an hour behind most of Central Europe. This is because we are on Greenwich Mean Time instead of Central European Time.
