Posted on 28/03/2021 11:31 by CornersteadyI'm surprised your cars don't automatically reset themselves? Ours do.
What about any clocks in the caravan?

Our qashqai alters automatically BUT it does have a habit of being an hour out sometimes! Most annoying and ocassionally causes a panic 😱
Automatic changing is great but we still have to do 4 clocks to do plus watches. Don't bother with microwave but do with the cooker.

Posted on 27/03/2021 21:58 by moulesyWe have quite a few primary schools on our dog walking route and that's probable true - and it takes us twice as long sometimes because they all want to stop and make a fuss of the dogs!
But we also have 2 secondary schools, loads of children walking to and from school, larking around as children of that age will do and definitely no adult chaperones with them. They are just as much subject to the dangers as younger children.
Still, as I said to HD, it makes precious little difference to us and I know there are other arguments for and against the twice yearly clock changes.

I was actually thinking of primary/junior school children. I see lots of secondary pupils walking home in groups too in the afternoon, but there are still many cars parked around waiting to pick up some of them.
However as this is far from the OP I guess it's best left as the last comment from me on the subject.

It depends where in the UK you live.
Here in Scotland it is almost dark for them to go to school in the mornings and almost dark for them coming home.
If you live in a rural area the children have to set out earlier to get to school on time, not all children get lifts in. Our village has buses to take the older ones to school but its not unusual for them to have to walk a mile or more with no pavements to get to the bus stop.
The younger ones go to the primary school in the village, again the majority of them walk to school.
When OH was working he had an hours drive each way, in winter he left in the dark and got home in the dark. If he didn't go out for a walk at lunchtime he never saw daylight during the week.
I wouldn't like to not change the clocks, it doesn't matter to me as I rarely get up before 9am and I think I can count on one hand (and have spare fingers left) how many times it is warm enough to sit out in the evening past 8pm.
