This exercise of "springing forward, falling back" comes back to haunt us every year and we were told the whole purpose of observing DST is simply making better use of daylight in the evenings. Whether or not it actually saves energy and induces productivity can form an instant debate here naturally.
As if the changing of the clock dance is not complicated enough, they have to make it happen on different days, in different countries!
It will be:
13th March in some of the States in the U.S.;
27th March for the whole of U.K. and,
Australia will be waving goodbye to their summer time a week after that.
Will we live to see some form of unity on the dates perhaps?
If you are a bit cranky on the Monday after the loss of an hour, blame Benjamin Franklin. He's the man behind this.
