I thought it was next weekend but Channel 4 news just informed me that it's actually tonight.

Nope, 2AM tomorrow morning technically.

Not that I have any clocks that need changing any more, thinking about it.

Same here, only use my computers and iPad and iPhone so these will change automatically.

Oh joy [/sarcasm]. That means a 13 hour night shift for me tonight.

^^^Back in hospital, they'd try and make sure the same people covering the GMT/BST switch covered the BST/GMT shift so they didn't lose out in terms of hours. Though they didn't get an extra hour in bed like everyone else!

Technically, yes.
However, if you go to bed before midnight then you'll likely change them tonight. (8+p
I have my alarm clock and my watch to set manually.

That's still tonight, ie this period between sunset and dawn. It's he'd said "this evening" on the other hand.... ;)

Just a reminder to change the forum clock manually.

I remembered last night, but had forgotten about it by the time I got up.

I've now adjusted the heating controller. Mum's don't the clock in the guest room (she's staying over) A few things do themselves. Quite a few things are already correct all year since I work in Proper Time.

Work will be fun tomorrow as customer call in saying their phones are wrong. I suspect we'll still be finding clocks to change for weeks.

I remember what it was like in work this time last year … thank goodness I'm on a later shift this year.
Hopefully by the time I get in to work tomorrow it'll all be dealt with by the earlier lot. (8+)

I'm fairly certain GMT has been plodding on quite happily without us using it... (8-p)

No, it stopped some time in Spring as it was so tired, now it's okay again so has started again on it's journey to, who knows where? *shrug*

I think it took on the mantle of its alter ego UTC for a while. UTC and GMT are really very close, while BST is just a fly-by-night who jets in for the summer.
