Remember the clocks go forward 1 hour at 2am on Sunday (Saturday night).

The hour will not be lost completely, it is being given as a no-interest loan to the Gods of Time, to be returned to us on 5th April next year.

Edit: Corrected my grammatical error, because https://aussie.zone/u/dan@upvote.au is right, even if I don't want to admit it. It is Daylight Saving, not Savings.

Abolishing this would be such common sense, but there's no political appetite for it because basically nobody cares. I guess not until one of the many people who die as a result of this has a famous or just vindictive loved one.
