- I guess that is true, yet not true! The actual time change is normally
- scheduled to take place in the early hours of the morning (01:00 or 02:00?)
- so that although it may be Sat night it is really Sun morning. So the date
- when you will change your clock is on the Saturday yet the "Last
- Sunday in Oct" remains correct when looked at in that perspective.
