The start of BST

March 30th, 2008

The problems of being too prepared became apparent this morning.

Hopefully you remembered that as British Summertime officially started this morning - now that’s a joke! - all of our clocks had to “Spring forward” by one hour. Being the conscientious chap that I am, naturally I remembered too.

The problem is, seldom a year goes by when the clocks change without some sort of time related incident. This year was no exception! You know I love  my gadgets and technology. You may also know that I was recently able to upgrade my mobile phone for a lovely ‘gadgety’ Nokia N95 . So, before going to sleep last night, and setting my alarm for 8 this morning,

I dutifully  added 1 hour to my phone’s time. Clever??!! No, not really! The phone is so gadgety that it knew BST had begun so added another hour as I slept!

I wasn’t quite such a fan of the gadgets when my alarm went off an hour early on a Sunday morning!

What time?!?

March 29th, 2008

Setting three alarm clocks was the only way I could be sure!

Sure of what? Quite simply, not sleeping in for the show this morning! Kevin is on holiday (dare I say “again”?! :-D ) so I’m covering his Saturday Breakfast show for the next few weeks.

As you know, I’m no stranger to Saturday Breakfast, I did the show regularly for long enough, so it’s actually quite a refreshing change to get back to chatting with you early on a Saturday again.

As an added bonus, I’m certain I will get to sleep with no trouble tonight which is probably just as well - don’t forget the clocks go forward tonight so we all “lose” an hour in bed. With that in mind, if I miss the first hour of Easy Sunday tomorrow, now you’ll know why!
