About this deal
Daylight saving, or summer time, is a mechanism to make the most of increased summer daylight hours in the northern hemisphere.
The change was introduced to give farmers an extra hour of sunlight to work following the First World War. Any device in your home connected to the internet, such as smartphones, laptops, tablets and TVs will automatically change. It was first introduced in the UK by the government during the First World War in 1916 to save coal usage and make the most of natural light. Similarly, the economic and environmental advantages can vary: for some warmer regions, it’s thought that longer evenings may actually increase energy consumption as people use air-conditioning units for more hours
Why do the clocks change?
This gives everyone an extra hour in bed and helps us prepare for the colder months when daylight hours are shorter.
Large Stopwatch - Use the Stopwatch in FULL SCREEN. Great for meetings, classrooms, conferences, schools, anywhere really... :-)All European countries, except for Belarus and Iceland, now use daylight saving time during the winter months, switching their time on the same night as the UK.
