Why this could be the last time American clocks go back - and UK might follow suit

The clocks are going BACK in the UK this weekend as we have reached the end of British Summer Time (BST), meaning it will get darker a lot earlier as we head into the cold winter months. While it might seem all doom and gloom, the silver lining is that everyone will get a well-deserved extra hour in bed when the clocks go from 2am back to 1am in the early hours of Sunday morning.

The UK will return to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), so we will be seeing more daylight in the mornings but earlier sunsets and therefore far longer evenings. There have been unsuccessful attempts to ditch using GMT in the UK and to live permanently on BST, but making Daylight Saving Time permanent in the US is starting to look like a strong possibility.
