DST
How does Daylight Savings Time work for those of you in England and mainland Europe? We just moved ahead an hour this weekend here, so we're only 4 hours behind you at this point. I'm ignorant on how this works, so enlighten me!

Re: DST
well, on the last sunday of march, we put our clocks at 2 o'clock one hour forward(germany and thus europe)
on the last sunday of october it is put one hour back (on 3o'clock)
that's daylightsaving for me :-)
let alone all the troubles some people have with it(job, medical issues,etc.)

Lol Chris...
Many a time this has gotten me into trouble with work, showing up an hour late.

I never know when its coming until i hear it on the radio or someone tells me on the saturday, even then they have to tell me when clocks go forward or back, i havent got a clue.

Re: DST
My computer does it for me automatically, but it always takes me by surprise. I don't like losing the hour sleep, but I like it when it stays light until 7 PM now
I remember when I lived in Berlin it stayed light until 11 PM or later in June, then the sun rose at 4 AM. That was awesome.

Impossible not to love Summer DST!
Re: DST
Man I hate DST... it means I have to wake up in the dark again, which means I don't wake up for another hour.... I really can't stand it 
Being light at night is nice, but I'd rather have it be light when I get up
