Anneca Posted 29 March , 2014 Share Posted 29 March , 2014 You're going the wrong way, 11pm GMT is 12 midnight BST (spring forward remember)) You are correct of course. My "senior moment" must have sprung forward. Anne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiegeGunner Posted 29 March , 2014 Share Posted 29 March , 2014 No worries, Anne .... just remember to adjust your clocks sideways tonight ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anneca Posted 29 March , 2014 Share Posted 29 March , 2014 Oh I did that last year SG and they haven't worked since - when I got all the bits and pieces back together again I had several left over, then my screwdriver went missing, probably inside one of the clocks. I will take your kind advice, go up to the attic, find the box and put all the hands sideways. You are most kind. Anne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw Posted 14 May , 2014 Share Posted 14 May , 2014 As a true patriot, should I be on the road at 2300 on August 4th., I will of course turn my car lights off for a minute. (And probably slow down to 50 mph for safety reasons) Keith Shouldn't speed be increased to 100 mph as this is the Centenary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Tobin Posted 12 July , 2014 Share Posted 12 July , 2014 Well I shall be at the War Memorial in Fringford, Oxon at 10:45pm with my candle. ( No one else will bother after reading the posters I put up all around the village though.) Even bought my British Legion candle! A lot smaller than it appears in the publicity though!

Sue Light Posted 12 July , 2014 Share Posted 12 July , 2014 Thanks for posting that link Mike - it says that 'the elderly may light a candle at lunch or teatime for their personal moment of reflection.' A great weight off my mind. Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auchonvillerssomme Posted 12 July , 2014 Share Posted 12 July , 2014 The RBL site also has a warning attached - by the time you have sorted the marshals and first aiders, completed the risk assessment, checked to see if you need a special license the moment will be gone. Health and safetyIt's all about common sense. Follow manufacturers' guidelines when using any equipment and think about whether you need people supervising any aspects of your event. Will you need marshals or first aiders for your LIGHTS OUT event? You should conduct a risk assessment to ensure you have proper plans in place for the safety of your participants. For more information check out the Health and Safety Executive website. You will also need to check whether you need any special license for your activity eg public entertainment licence. Please inform local Police and the local council in advance of your event if you are wishing to gather at your local war memorial or other public spaces. Remember to extinguish all candles before the event closes Please visit www.hse.gov.uk/event-safety/managing-an-event to read a Health and Safety assessment sheet to give you further guidance on best practice on holding a public event.
