	The movement of our clocks appear to have been standardised now and are currently the last Sunday (AM) in March (1 hour forward) and the last Sunday (Am) in October (1 hour back). There has been talk about retaining British Summer Time permanently to keep us in line with most of Continental Europe.

	We have been 13 hours ahead and we still are.. There is some time where one of us changes and then we are 12 and then the other changes and we become 11... I think... it gets messy when we switch off daylight and Brit goes on to daylight. I have to post a message first to find out what clock is ticking where. And if you understand all that could you explain it back to me.. as I don't understand any of what I just said. :-S

	Persie, Somehow I don't think that British Summer Time would suit the inhabitants of New Zealand. ;-)

We have 5 time zones in Canada Newfoundland 2 1/2 hours behind UK Atlantic 3 Eastern 4 Central 5 Mountain 6 and where our lovely Syl resides Pacific 7 A big country we are R

Member Since: May 2011 Posts: 55 Send Message	I am reminded of this today as we just set our clocks ahead one hour When told the reason for daylight savings time the Old Indian said, "Only the government would believe that you could cut a foot off the top of a blanket, sew it to the bottom, and have a longer blanket." How appropriate

	I think that's why I got confused when I visited Canada a few years ago !! I did a tour of many parts of it and I never knew quite what time it was :-D Dea Xxx

	P.S. - I DID find that the people were absolutely wonderful but I did not like the taxes or the 'culture and attitude' of those working in the service industry !!! Dea Xxx

Member Since: April 2004 Posts: 592 Send Message	Perhaps a post on FB GR asking for a "Mega Thingy" look up on 192 or Freebmd could help Cyn. You are probably trying to add another 200 "Mega Thingys" to your tree. There is a Mary Thingy in the 1920 US census in New York .... could be a relative of Mega You and Trace seem to lose things easily

Member Since: June 2008 Posts: 3 659 Send Message	For Cynthia Your router will respond to network traffic even if your computers are switched off. This causes tiny amounts of usage (classed as background traffic, rarely more than a few KB or MB) to be recorded. This is perfectly normal and nothing to worry about. Read Dongle for Router
