SUMMARY:CLOCKS 'SPRING' FORWARD...
DESCRIPTION:In SPRING the clocks 'spring forward' (and in AUTUMN they 
 'Fall' back) so today 1am becomes 2am. \r\n In the UK the clocks go f
 orward 1 hour at 1am on the last Sunday in March, and back 1 hour at 2
 am on the last Sunday in October.  (This is our educational slot, by 
 the way!)\r\nAlthough GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) and UTC (Coordinated
  Universal Time) share the same current time in practice, there is a
  basic difference between the two:\r\nGMT is a time zone officially us
 ed in some European and African countries. The time can be displayed u
 sing both the 24-hour format (0 - 24) or the 12-hour format (1 - 12 am
 /pm).\r\nUTC is not a time zone, but a time standard that is the basis
  for civil time and time zones worldwide. This means that no country o
 r territory officially uses UTC as a local time.\r\nUTC, GMT and Dayli
 ght Saving Time...\r\nNeither UTC nor GMT ever change for Daylight Sav
 ing Time (DST). However, some of the countries that use GMT switch to 
 different time zones during their DST period.\r\nFor example, the Unit
 ed Kingdom has British Summer Time (BST), which is one hour ahead of G
 MT, during the summer months.\r\n-----------------------------------\r
 \nIn Spring of 2019 MEPs voted to approve plans for European Union mem
 ber states to abolish clock changes if they want.\r\nCountries are exp
 ected to choose to either remain permanently on summer or winter time,
  although Portugal and Greece are among those which have previously in
 dicated they would rather retain the present system.\r\nIt is more tha
 n a 100 years since the changing the clocks was first established in t
 he UK under the Summer Time Act 1916. Despite the results of the EU su
 rvey suggesting that 82% of British respondents wanted to abolish DST,
  there does not seem to be any great political will to do so. \r\nIt 
 could of course lead to there being two time zones in Ireland!\r\nSour
