Most of you have no concept of why the clocks were changed to add extra hours and then take them away.
Let me enlighten you. Bush didn't do it!!!!!LMAO!
Having said that, Let's go back to the early 1900s and the ability for farmers to go to work and supply the food for this great and growing nation. The greenbelt legislators petitioned the government to make it legal to move the clocks to add an hour of DAYLIGHT to their work day. This soon showed how well it worked for the farmer it may also work for the mechanized production companies. And, it did.
Now, for those who didn't take history in high school, slept through those classes and knew it was a bunch of do-do anyhow, the movement of time and hours proved so successful this Great Nation entertained the greatest growth of mechanization and food production the World has ever witnessed. Government had to put land in the Land Bank, cause a major recession in the late 20's and through the 30s known as a The Great Depression. And, caused many folks to take up their roots and move to the cities where there were no jobs and soup kitchens, real soup kitchens.
Now we are faced with questionable answers to the questions as we have read tonight. Can we say most of answers are perceived to come from unhappy and uninformed people.
The Time Change, as I understand it, is being PHASED IN OVER A FEW YEARS! It started last year if you weren't aware. This won't happen again until the first week in November this year and minor changes over the next few years.
So get used to a slow retrieval of time lost(?). If it moved any faster most of you people will panic and crawl under a bigger rock.

My computer and phone reset themselves, it can take a couple of weeks to notice all the other clocks that need changing, faffing around sticking the pin in the car clock is the worst (I have an old car).

They do say for some it takes a week to adjust to the new external time and your internal clock.
