Clocks go back tonight

[canveyshrimper]

Don't forget to put your clocks back tonight. I am now going to hibernate until April, when I wake up we'll be top of the table, the new stadium is well under way and an eccentric Russian Oligarch has invested millions of his fortune to ensure his dream of seeing Southend in the Premier League comes true. :)

This'll be fun working in a 24 hour shop when the clocks go back. Just when I think we've had the last of the ****ed up muppets we normally get in at 2am, 2 am rolls round again!! Great.

I have to be in at 4am, normally 5, instead of giving people extra hours they want us to work normal hours and shut early

Makes no difference up here, gets light at about 10am and starts getting dark at about 2pm.

Coz we are British mate........same reason we hate any one who is successful, that our national dish is a curry and that we can not blow smoke our own arses with out feeling completely arrogant

If you work at Southend Hospital and your doing a night shift tonight, you have to work the extra hour without pay.

I wonder how much money in hourly pay it would be if you add up all the people who work an extra hour tonight in the UK

It's not just Southend Hospital. I've got a mate who works as a nurse up here and exactly the same thing happens to him. Although it's swings and roundabouts: he said if you're lucky enough to work the night the clocks go forward, you get paid for an hour more than you actually work.

Stupid, eh?
