At 2am the clocks in the UK went back one hour and we are now out of British Summer Time (BST) and back onto Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
However this clock change does not apply to all communities. In places like Pakistan for example and other similar parts of the Islamic world (including Bradford) there is no need to adjust clocks as many followers of Islam have already set their clocks back to the year 622CE (or AD if you prefer), where they seem to be happiest and culturally suited for.
It used to be quite a long job, especially as we have a couple of wind up striking clocks which have to be either put forward eleven hours while waiting for each hour to strike or stopped for an hour after which I would forget to set them going again. Also there would always be one that got forgotten. Nowadays most of our clocks sort it out for themselves.

Agree that the connected devices update automatically but there still things like VCR timers, my post office clock and some parts of my security system and the car clock that need to be changed.
In so many of our cities, the Univershitty Halls of Knackerdemia and others, the clock has been turned back to the 1930s
Spot on there. Sadly.
