    Hello, here in Canada, we changed our time to use winter time ( I'm not sure how we say in engish ). Did you change also where you're living ? What do you think about ? Stephane

      We did in the UK too, and I think it is a bloddy stupid idea. Now I must drive home in almost complete darkness* rather than musty daytime. I understnad why the famers need more light in the mornings, but honestly - can't they just get up earlier? * the council removed all the street lights after some residents started sacrificing sheep to them. Okay, forget the asterisked sentence, but I meant the first part...

        Stop it stop it STOP IT :)!!! You're making me go all green and jealous. Here in the UK we've just moved the clocks back an hour so we get an extra hour of darkness and a load of crap weather to boot. Oh well.... no more outdoor activites for me (at least after next weekend anyway, I'm off to the Lakes). -- Andrew.

            We set our clocks back here in sunny California. That means the sun comes up earlier which means more time for my morning MTB rides. Woot! It also means it's colder in the morning. ^Woot!

                                    I think they could have come up with a better word for that than "woot". Doctor: "Nurse, we have to induce excrement. Get me a woot." Nurse: "A what?" Doctor: "Woot." Nurse: "Are you making fun of my Canadian heritage?" Doctor: "What?" Nurse: "You wanted a what"? Doctor: "No, a woot." Nurse: "A woot." Doctor: "What?" Nurse: "What?" Doctor: "A WOOT! Here, hold this open..." (points to patient's butt hole) "...the staggering layers of obcenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001

                                      Yep, the UK has just gone back to "normal" time (i.e. GMT). No more of this "British Summertime" nonsense for another year. :) Andy Metcalfe - Sonardyne International Ltd

                                          We did in the UK too, and I think it is a bloddy stupid idea. Now I must drive home in almost complete darkness* rather than musty daytime. I understnad why the famers need more light in the mornings, but honestly - can't they just get up earlier? * the council removed all the street lights after some residents started sacrificing sheep to them. Okay, forget the asterisked sentence, but I meant the first part...
