Is it just me who resents the pointless exercise of changing the clocks twice a year? And it’s not just clocks – it’s the central heating, the cooker, the microwave, the outside lighting, the CCTV, the home telephones and various other timers that are usually forgotten about. Then before you know it, the whole process has to be reversed. To what end exactly?

• The BBC certainly chooses its timing well (‘I feel really, really cross at incredibly dumb decisions’: Stephen Sackur on the end of HARDtalk – and leaving the BBC, 24 March). Precisely when there is increasing public dissatisfaction with politics and politicians, it ends HARDtalk – one of the few programmes that ensured key movers and shakers could not dodge questions or get away with simplistic answers.
