Yes. We leapfrogged the UK. When we first started DST
nationally in 1967, it was the last Sunday in April. There were
a few tweaks to the system during the seventies and then we had
about 20 years of going on DST the first Sunday in April until
we changed again a couple of years ago. I wish we made the
switch the same time the UK and the EU do because it actually
does make a bit of a difference.
I listen to the 5:45 "News Beat" program from Radio1 on
the BBC at work. I have my computer get it automatically so I
must remember to change the time on the cron job for the
difference between the start of our DST and British Summer Time.
I looked it up on the web to see when the UK gains an hour so I
have a job that runs on Monday March 30 to reset everything back
to normal.
