Re: Clocks Back
The moving of the clocks was first introduced during the First World War by Germany and Austria, and then by the allies, to save on coal usage. It was invented by George Vincent Hudson, a New Zealand entomologist, in 1895, while British businessman William Willett is also credited with the idea, as a way of getting up earlier and so having more daylight hours after work.
While the UK has always had Daylight Saving Time since it was first introduced, it came into widespread use across the world during the 1970s because of the energy crisis.
