Clocks go back this weekend!

[Foxholer]

But kids get to school safer is that not more important ? Yes or no Delc

Yes!....Or is that No! It's a bit pointless asking for a simple yes/no answer when the question asked is totally ambiguous!!

And it seems rather ironic that it's Phil asking for a simple Yes/No answer in the first place! :rofl:

 

[c1973]

Not wishing to sound harsh... Most kids get delivered to the school gate these days without much walking involved...

Exactly.

The biggest danger to them going to school is the amount of parents in cars dropping kids off at the gates. In my experience it is usually one large slice of luck away from being utter carnage half the time.

I don't see a big hoohah about that mind you.

I agree, I'm sick of Hobbit's selfish, narrow minded wingeing, it's not all about him!

Shut up you, I'm not finished talking about me and how frightened I am when its dark!:ears:

Yep all these caring parents double park, park on Zebra crossings or the Zig Zags, in fact they'll park anywhere, even on the wrong side so the kids get out of the car in the middle of the road! No thought of any danger just as long as there as close to the gates as possible!

That's not true of secondary age pupils up here.

It's 05.45 GMT on Sunday 25th October and it's already getting light where I am.

I don't know whereabouts in the UK you are Del, but it's nearly 06.15 down here (South Coast) and it's as black as your hat outside.

Pretty light here now at Coventry Airport

Pretty light here now at Coventry Airport

As it is now in sunny Bexhill Robin. I was just asking where Del was for it to be light at 5.45 a couple of days ago????

Maybe he put his clock back 2 hrs...

 

[Smiffy]

Maybe he just exaggerated?
But that wouldn't be like Del would it....

I was just South of Basingstoke, and it was definitely light enough to walk around outside at that time. Sunset here yesterday was at about 4.50pm and it was totally dark by 5.25pm. You might also like to read the following article on daylight saving:

Two days ago sunrise was 7.40am. You're not telling me it was light at 5.45am are you?

There is absolutely no way that it was light at 5.45am. None at all.

That shows sunrise at 6:46 an hour after you suggested it was getting light

So you're in a boat in the middle of the Indian Ocean????
Sorry Del, there is no way it was light at 5.45am the other morning (and yes, I realise you meant after the clocks went back)
