Flight departure from Edinburgh: 8.55am Sunday 29th March
Time on mobile says 7.15am
Me at 7.15 am : Hi, can I get a taxi to the airport?
Operator: Sure, what time will that be?
Me: 8.10am
Operator: 8.10am tomorrow?
Me: No 8.10am in a bit. Today.
Operator: It was 8.10am a few minutes ago.
Me: What?! But it is only 7.18am on my mobile! Oh no! DAYLIGHT SAVING! OH SHIT OH SHIT! Can I get a taxi now?!
Man, like I haven't been here long enough to get used to this. Twice a year this happens to almost everyone. Well, the clock moving backwards in autumn ensures that we are one hour earlier which means one hour of less sleep if we are unaware of the change in time. Over spring, once a year most transport companies benefit from us buying our fares twice. The media should alert us in advance.
