I have a question:
Has the time in Spain changed?
I mean I looked at the recent contributions and they are still the ones from yesterday.
I searched in google and it says: 11:13:33 PM, Sunday 25, October 2009
CET
So I wanted to ask and make sure..
Thanks
Edit: I�m asking because in Uruguay, it�s 8.pm

We set our clocks back an hour last night. We �re on the same time as Spain, so perhaps they did too.

It must be Daylight savings, bringing the clock and hour back in preparation for Winter.

Yes, it is the end too Libertybelle! My mistake... we just began the Daylight savings here in Australia.
Is the term "Daylight Savings" used in other countries too? E.g Spain, Italy, Israel, etc...

Here in Portugal we just name it "Mudan�a hor�ria", that means hour change.
What �s the origin of the expression"Daylight savings"?I know that in America it �s common to say that,,,
Thanks in advance!

Yes, Ladybird, (edit: & all) Zeitumstellung/ time change / Mudan�a hor�ria; Daylight savings also seems reasonable, since the main point of Zeitumstellung/ time change / Mudan�a hor�ria is to save energy, making the most of daylight. It makes sense, doesn �t it? |
