Do not forget to put your clocks forward 1 hour tonight.

It doesn't bother me, I can sleep anytime. Most of clocks use MSF, as does my watch so they change without help. Likewise phones. Just the microwave and sat receiver to manually adjust 1 hour.

I'm not sure where in the UK it's light by 4am, but when it's light in the summer early on, it's late til late anyway.

Well mid-summer on my post code it's dawn at 3.42 am and then sunset at 9.33, if we adopted CET, it wouldn't be light until 4.42 am and the sun wouldn't set until 10.33, so a lovely long Summer's evening, to sit out in the garden, drink wine, have a BBQ or whatever takes your fancy.

Malta? Extra words to make it post...

[Jim Jamieson]

Spot on Harry, Malta is one hour ahead to start with on arrival plus they changed their clocks a week before us so that made the two hours.

Normally I don't bother changing my watch as it's easy to just add the extra hour but in this case I did move it forward but only by one hour so it's correct when I get home.

Possibly but it wouldn't get dark until 11.15 seems a bit late to me, but then it's what you get used to i suppose. Mind you in the summer if you plan a bbq in this country you can guarantee it'll be peeing down anyway !!

Just a smiley alone seemed to work fine for you.
