Daylight Savings Time.

Does the rest of the world do this as well?

About time. We, the US, did it 3 weeks ago.

All the EU countries go forward tonight. So does Switzerland, that is not in the EU despite being surrounded by EU countries.

Quite a lot of other countries go forward this weekend, including Russia, Turkey and Pakistan.

Neither does most of Arizona US.

Neither does Saskatchewan.

ETA: I happen to agree fully with Garnet about the merits of the practice.

Queensland and the Northern Territory don't, although the rest of Australia does.


They will of course be going OFF summer time next week - antipodes and all that! ;)

Yep. It makes no sense closer to the equator.

It works quite well for me, I like it. But I'm not a morning person.
