Did this today in case people forgot last night. :P

Have you ever forgotten to move your clocks forwards or backwards an hour?
This only applies to members in the UK as we're so cool we can time travel. :P

I never have because I've got loads of family members reminding me all the time to do so.
But I know loads of friends that forget usually.
 
Nope, I set mine so that I could wake up for the Formula 1 :D

However, I did not set the rest of the clocks in the house, so our lodger woke up an hour late for work. Whoops :P
 
I'm the same as Ciall, if it wasn't for the F1 being on early this morning then I wouldn't have changed my clock. Although I was caught out by the clock on our phone which does not update itself. Still have a few more to change.

I remember stuffing up a few years ago and turning up for work an hour late when the clocks actually went back. Sure I only heard about the clocks going forward yesterday when my Mam told me.
 
I already knew about it so I didn't forget. The clock on my laptop sets forward an hour automatically once it turns 1am so I didn't have to change that.

Fail.

Other countries do it too. America and Australia spring to mind as two instant examples, although on different dates (the Americans did a few weeks back)

And I did not forget, and have not ever.

I thought every country did it, as we can't be the same time as a different time zone, can we?

Anyway, no I haven't, I'm clever.
 
I didn't forget, and had only one clock to change as the athers are radio controlled! :D

I will have to remember the car tomorrow though :(
 
Didn't forget this time, but I have 1 or 2 times in the past.

Still thinks that they should stop this crap since it really ****s up people more then what it compensates for.

I thought it was just a silly thing the UK did.
 
Had sooo many reminders, like work, dad and F1, luckily my alarm clock auto-updates =D

Have to make sure I get to work on time today, clocks change, but not Zulu time (GMT) on my roster!
 
Haven't forgotten, but seeing as I'm overly dependant on knowing what time it is, I think I would upset with myself if I did forget :roll: .
 
No, however on a similar scale I once set a new phone up incorrectly and got out of bed, dressed myself and got halfway through a quick cuppa' before realising it was Saturday!
 
In my house, I'm the one in charge of changing the clocks, and changing out the batteries in the smoke detectors. I get the fun jobs.
 
I nearly did. Once, last year.

We were on the annual snowcave trip with the scouts. Being the oldest who were allowed to participate in the competition, our team got the area where the sun had shone on the snow, softening it during the day, then it hardened in the nights. The result? Each layer of snow was rock-hard, we had to go mental on the snow face to dig out anything, and broke two shovels during the digging.
It was 2:17 AM when we finally got to bed, more tired than we had ever been. Seriously, near the end of the digging, I fell asleep standing when I stepped aside to let someone pass me. One of the leaders came in to inspect the cave, and said:
"Ten to half past two, huh? Well, better get asleep quickly, we're waking you at 7 tomorrow"
(groaning from the five of us)
"Well, goodnight then!"

Then he left the cave. After less than two minutes, he came back:
"Oh, and make sure to change your clocks. We're on DST from tonight on"
(epic groaning)
 
I didn't forget... I did it at about half 7 or something the night before so i wouldn't forget.... Getting up on time to watch the Formula 1 depended on it!
 
We changed our clocks like three weeks ago.

But, to answer your question, the only time I truly forgot was when it was very inconvenient for me. I was eight years old, at Disney World, and I was at Downtown Disney at like, one in the morning. Of course, I had to be up at like, six for the shuttle, and me and my dad were like, dead tired at this point. Then he finally realized we had to turn the clocks forward and it was actually two and not one, which really, really sucked ass.
