🕑 Fall Back 🕐

Don`t forget, the clocks go back one hour tonight!

Did you know, The UK adopted British Summer Time (BST) in May 1916 primarily to conserve coal and energy during the First World War?

The movement in the UK was driven by an English builder named William Willett. During his early morning horse rides, Willett noticed that blinds remained drawn across houses while the sun was already high. In 1907, he published a pamphlet titled "The Waste of Daylight", arguing that shifting the clocks forward in spring would:
🕯 Cut domestic expenditure on artificial lighting and candles.
🏋‍♂️ Give workers more daylight hours for recreation, gardening, and exercise after work.
🤧 Improve general national health and well-being.

However, rumour also has it that William Willett was a keen golfer, and one of his main frustrations was having to abandon his evening rounds at dusk, just as he reached the closing holes! 🏌‍♂️
