    Spring Forward. Fall Back.

    This weekend sees the change of the clocks as usual. So it will be back to a 7 hour time difference between here and the Philippines. Which I always found more convenient and Mrs Lastlid too.

    "The clocks will go forward by one hour on Sunday 25 March as British Summer Time begins for another year. The official time changes at 1.00 am, moving forward to 2.00 am across the UK".

    Well, I think I am right in saying that we lose an hour so we lose a lot of gold.
