Why do clocks go back and forward one hour?
I’d agree about the farmers although i found this online: It’s all to do with saving the hours of daylight, and was started by a man called William Willett, a London builder, who lived in Petts Wood in Kent. Basically, he reckoned that he could improve the population’s health and happiness by putting forward the clocks by twenty minutes on each of four Sundays in April, and by reversing this idea by the same amount on four Sundays in September. Not sure how true it is…. Also it can’t have anything to do with leap years as the clocks are put back forwards in spring so we don’t actually lose any time.
