27 Don’t forget, the clocks go back on Sunday 25th October! Did You Know? Clocks always change at 2am - the quietest time for trains, flights and timetables. Britain’s done this since 1916, following Germany’s lead to save coal in WWI. The idea took hold thanks to builder William Willett, who spotted closed curtains on an early morning ride and wrote a pamphlet about it in 1907. Not every country bothers. China has one time zone nationwide and skips it, so does Iceland. Farmers were early sceptics - cows don’t appreciate a sudden change to milking time. So enjoy the extra hour in bed - just don’t expect the cows (or the children) to agree with the lie-in! Raring2go! LOCAL SERVICES
