The clocks have gone forward – 21 alarmingly good reactions
In case you were wondering where your hour went, the clocks skipped forward during the night.
This heralds the start of British Summer Time – an expression that illustrates the word ‘oxymoron’ almost as beautifully as ‘science fiction’ or ‘ministerial responsibility’. Of course, outside of the UK, it’s Daylight Savings Time.
It essentially means that we’ll spend the next week saying things like “It’s half four, but it’s really half three.” or “The oven clock’s right again.”
But, before any of that, people have been saying this.

On this night of the year I like to recall once being a touch worse for wear in a Stepney Green kebab shop, looking at my phone and shouting ‘WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR OUR KEBABS FOR AN HOUR AND TWENTY MINUTES!’
It was politely pointed out to me that the clocks had gone forward.

Good news. Clocks go forward tonight which is the equivalent of missing two episodes of Mrs Brown. #clocksgoforward
