Title: Clocks going forward
Post by: FOGGY on 11 Feb, 2020, 10:22:24 am

I know it’s not till next mont but I just read that from 2021 all EU will not be messing around with their  clocks,  back a forward. So UK will be the only ones playing ping pong with their time, so they’ll be 2 hour behind the rest of Europe. So Ireland and N. Ireland!!! How weird will that be for shops,  workers everything.
Also the elections out there look very interesting

As I understood it, the EU will stop messing around with changing the clocks twice a year but it will be up to each member state to decide whether their country stays in summer or winter time.

Under the new legislation, governments opting to make summer time permanent would adjust their clocks for the last time on the last Sunday in March 2021.

For those choosing permanent standard time - also called winter time - the final clock change would be on the last Sunday of October 2021.

I expect we will get enough warning when this is due to happen....
