Daylight Savings Time...

I got up yesterday morning eagerly anticipating another weekly instalment of Sunday Life. I sat down in my TV chair at precisely 9:56am hoping to catch a little snippet of what was to come later on in the morning on countryfile.
Little did I know, and little did I expect, to be watching that dour man Andrew Marr previewing what to expect on his show.
I was confused.
At first the anticipation that they might have cancelled Sunday Life left me sweating profusely.
Then, after a quick glance at my clock on the wall, displaying 10:01, i decided to check the pages on the television that sometimes come up when i accidentally click a button on the remote. Telefax, or something like that.
I did not know which button to press, and in the search for this elusive button i managed to change the sound, the picture brightness, and set an alarm for a 3pm show on channel five which to my disgust was a stupid film about a man without a face.
After three minutes of random button pressing i found the button i was looking for.
The black screen flashed up and in the corner it read 09:03.
I was confused.
It was only then that i remembered Derek reminding me to turn my clocks back because of daylight savings.
While sitting in my chair, debating with myself what to do for the next hour i fell asleep again.
I woke up at 11:58.
I had missed both Sunday Life and Countryfile.
Daylight Savings?I lost my entire morning thanks to this phenomenon.
I hate it.
Unfortunately Rick Wakeman can't do anything about it.
