British clocks have gone back one hour – our 15 favourite funny takes
British Summertime came to an end at 2 am, hurtling the country back into Greenwich Meantime and 1 am.
You were probably in bed, worrying about the state of the economy, or a no-deal Brexit, or why Mickey Mouse has one dog in his social circle but keeps another as a pet.
The occasion of the clocks going back left people with a decision to make.
It’s that moment of decision. Do I take the extra hour awake with another glass of wine or another hour of sleep?

We don’t know whether these people stayed up, but we do know they had some very funny takes we thought you’d enjoy.

Is everybody ready for the Longest Day? 25 hours of 2020, all in one day-sized package. What will YOU do with your extra hour? There’s room for almost 4.2% more gloom, despondency or shouting into the void.

Can we all just agree not to put the clocks back tonight in the UK and get this dog of a year done 60 minutes quicker?
