Waking Up When The Clocks Change

The clocks go back tonight and many people will have trouble waking up at the right time.  When I need to wake up at anything other than my normal time, I always use the Reminder Call feature on my BT landline.
To set it you enter you dial *55 *24 hour#
To cancel you use #55#
 and to check it you use *#55#
I’m not sure whether it works on other networks.  I think each call costs 29 pence.
Even if we go in line with Central European Time, we’ll still need to change the clocks, so we’ll still need that alarm call.
I’ve actually never had problems in the autumn, but I have turned up early in the spring.
Remember “Spring forward, fall back!”

  1. With those who have forgotten and those who have turned their clocks in the wrong direction, church is always interested the morning after the clocks change.
