With the clocks jumping forward this weekend – well, in Europe at least, because the US got it out of the way earlier in the month – it’s time to decide whether it’s worth changing the times on your microwave, oven and in the car, or whether it’s easier just to ride it out until autumn so you don’t have to roll the time back again.
Time was that you even had to manually apply daylight savings on your consoles, but thankfully they’ve all cottoned on to all the timy-wimey shenanigans us humans get up to.
