They're talking about it here but that would move it along if you all changed it first!

I agree, Sumi!!! I can't STAND DST! It was implemented WAY back when but is simply no longer necessary. It's confusing and puts everyone way off a normal, natural schedule.

Good news and bad news...
"PAIN IN THE HOURS
Clocks to go forward a second time this week as landmark decision to be finalised in European Parliament
The EU Commission has recommended households put their clocks forward twice this year in order to balance the time zones across the continent.
This year, the EU Parliament voted to stop changing clocks after a public consultation revealed that 84 per cent of people wanted to end daylight savings.
Legislation has now been drawn up and must go through the process of being passed by the EU member states.
The final clock change will come on the last Sunday in March 2021.
But in order to get the timing right for 2021, the EU Commission has recommended households put their clocks forward twice this year in order to balance the time zones across the continent.
EU chiefs are expected to agree to this in a vote later today, April 1.
Our clocks will then have to go forward again later in the week."

I'm waiting to hear what they decided and what we're going to be doing now... If they voted to do this, our clocks will have to go forward AGAIN and we've only just changed back to summer time over the weekend.

I really hate April Fools Day. It's not funny, I just kind of find it like... why did they just waste all this time making stuff up? Lol.

Same here! I'm all for jokes and humour, but I don't find it funny any more.
I actually know a guy here via mutual friends of mine that has a hugely successful fake news website. But he publishes a lot of genuinely funny stuff that is obviously fake news, just for fun: Waterford Whispers News – Irish Satire newswaterfordwhispersnews.com/
