The clocks have gone back

Last Sunday, the clocks went back in England. This means that the time changed from BST (British Summer Time) to GMT (Greenwich Mean Time).

Every year on the last Sunday in March, the clocks go forward one hour from 01:00 GMT to 02:00 BST so we must change our clocks. On the last Sunday in October, the clocks go back one hour from 02:00 BST to 01:00 GMT so we must change our clocks again. Some people forget and get confused.

On the last Saturday in October, you might hear people say "Remember the clocks go back tonight."

On the last Saturday in March, you can hear people say "Remember the clocks go forward tonight."

Many countries operate such a system and call it daylight saving time.
