Did anyone else, by any chance, not listen to the radio on Saturday, thus not being reminded about the whole winding the clocks back an hour thing and subsequently arrive 42 mins early for work (having thought you were late) or was that just me?

Sorry, no.
I went through all our clocks on Saturday night, except that one radio controlled alarm clock, that moved itself at 3 am. Also digibox and computer updated themselves automatically. |

Not this year but have done before, one year I moved the clocks forward instead of back and was two hours ahead of everyone else.

Ooo... Bad luck there.
Nice to be round here again. I actually ended up in Folkestone, Kent, for my placement. Dom (Limey) is in Glasgae with his girlfriend though. He's probably not here very often, 'cause they don't have Internet at the flat.

Does he call him every morning? That's so nice!
When I woke up I thought everyone had slept in and thought "ah well, no point in getting up now" except i was an hour ahead of myself and was soon woken again :( |

Yes... although I'd rung in sick, so it didn't really matter. I'm so glad I did now, I hate work, sitting there for an hour would have been awful.
I also did that in 2005... thankfully I worked 2 minutes walk from home, so I went home again, and no one knew my stupidity. |

Not much. It's a shitty stop-off town, for truckers on there way to and from Dover, and people in process with the Immigration service.
