Don't forget to put your clocks back. It's that time of year again when BST ends and the clocks go back 1 hour at 02.00 tomorrow Sunday 31 October.

Never on a Sunday, I would guess. Just look on the wiki:

"Between 1972 and 1995, the BST period was defined as "beginning at two o'clock, Greenwich mean time, in the morning of the day after the third Saturday in March or, if that day is Easter Day, the day after the second Saturday in March, and ending at two o'clock, Greenwich mean time, in the morning of the day after the fourth Saturday in October "

Looks like the mere mention of Sunday is persona non grata ...verboten!

Tree lined avenue here and leaves falling tend to signal the change from summer to autumn. If not cleared and bagged to keep the quantity down it becomes a minefield of inconvenience. Hidden delights such as dog poo can lie waiting for an unsuspecting foot and it is not unknown for little darlings/angels in the neighbourhood to pile them up and set fire to them with no regard for people or property such as fencing and parked cars. This year I've been clearing and bagging them since September - the leaves that is.

Just shows the difference in attitudes, I'm not bothered by it.
I thought it come to be for farmers so they had a bit more daylight but some thing it is for schools.

That is another thing,you can never get a definitive reason for it.If it's meant to make it safer for school children in the mornings it must make it more dangerous going home at dusk/dark.The majority of people I have ever spoken to would rather have the extra daylight at the end of the day.

There's always that one clock you lost the manual for & I haven't a scooby doo how to change the time on that

The one household clock that doesn't get touched here regardless is the digital clock on the Baumatic oven. Gave up years ago trying to fathom it out.
