Remember the clocks go forward 1 hour at 2am on Sunday (Saturday night).

The hour will not be lost completely, it is being given as a no-interest loan to the Gods of Time, to be returned to us on 5th April next year.

Edit: Corrected my grammatical error, because https://aussie.zone/u/dan@upvote.au is right, even if I don't want to admit it. It is Daylight Saving, not Savings.

I also fix the cars that get smashed up in the weeks after the switch. So it benefits me financially. Still think it really needs to end. The week after the switch is also the week with the highest incidents of heart attacks. It really is unhealthy.

Highest rate of suicides as well.
