    British Summertime ended today, clocks turned back one hour, it was dark by 1800 hours and will continue to get darker each day till December.
    By which time darkness will start about 1600 hours. don't you just love winter.:smile:

    In other words, damp, wet, depressing for 4-5 months. Go to work in dark and back in dark!
