"Welcome back my friends, to the show that never ..." — er, to Official Real Time, upon this day when we do violence once again to our circadian clocks.

You know what I want to know?  Has anyone ever checked to see if there's more traffic accidents the Monday morning after DST begins?

You should have heard the conversations here at work today. Various folk have tele-conferences with their counterparts in the US, and of course the US changed to DST but the UK doesn't do the same 'til the end of the month. Is that 3pm UK-time, 9am Houston time, meeting now at 2pm UK-time, or still at 3pm UK-time but 10am Houston time. A wonderful recipe for chaos, and an execllent illustration of another down-side of the DST switch.

Not to mention that bizarre little period of time when London local time and GMT are an hour apart!
