Re: Clock changes.

Colin,

  Daylight Saving Time always used to end on the last Sunday morning of 
October.  However, Guy Fawkes Day is celebrated peculiarly in the US on the 
day before All Saints' Day, children going disguised in costumes from
house to house and threatening the people in each if not given sweets.

  To allow these marauding children to carry out their mischief while some 
daylight still
lasts, the conversion to Standard Time has been postponed from now on to 
take place at 2 a.m. on the first Sunday of November.

  So the coming week will be one of great confusion, but the dust may settle 
after 4 November.
