SUMMER already seems like a distant memory - the weather is gradually getting cooler and the evenings are about to get much darker too.
This year, the clocks go back on Sunday, October 25.
British Summer Time ends at 2am, at which point clocks should be put back an hour, to 1am Greenwich Mean Time.
An easy way to remember whether the clocks go forward or back is to recall the old saying - spring forward, fall back.
Daylight Saving Time was first introduced by William Willett in 1907 to make use of the daytime and prevent wasting it first thing in the morning during the summer.
Winston Churchill once argued that it enlarged 'the opportunities for the pursuit of health and happiness among the millions of people who live in this country' and pundits have dubbed it 'Daylight Slaving Time'.
It is thought that millions of pounds of extra tourism and leisure money would be generated each year by not putting the clocks back.
