I asked an expert friend of mine who is in the know ... in the real know ... and he said that the reason the clocks are changed twice a year is simply to annoy people. No other real reason. It is just to give people something to do, and to get them to talk about it and whilst they're doing so, it keeps their minds off other things happening around them. Like having to take the trash out or feeding the birds ... to the cats.
One thing that does annoy me is ... why do they always change the clocks at 2:00 in
the morning? I am fed up having to stay awake all night and then change
the clocks at 2:00 am. Why not change them at noon? Or make it more
interesting, change the clocks at 7:36pm and 20 seconds? That way
everyone will take notice and have to be punctual to change their clocks
at the precise time.
I wrote to the authorities about it and
they ignored me. I am not appreciated in my own time, (9:16:54am), or at
any time for that matter.
My expert friend told me that this is the last time our country will change the clocks forwards.
Next year they will change the day forward instead. So instead of Sunday at 2:00am, it will suddenly become Monday. Immediately, Saturday will be followed by Monday. No need for us to change all the clocks in our house because the day will have moved forwards 24 hours instead. Whilst everyone in the world is still on Sunday we'll be on Monday.
Once again, Britain will lead the world.
The day in the calendar will change too. For example, (using today's calendar), whilst the whole world will be on 27 March, Britain would be on the 28th.
And for ever Britain will be one day ahead of the whole world. We will know things before everyone else because we'll be one day ahead of the rest.
No longer will the Australians celebrate New Year's Day first with fireworks and drinking Foster's lager beer.
We in Britain will be celebrating a whole 24 hours before the Australians and everyone else. We'll get to the beer first my friends!
