The end of Summer Time !

[Doc Alan]

Remember clocks will go back by one hour on Sunday 27 October ( at 2 am ) marking the end of British Summer Time as the UK reverts to Greenwich Mean Time.


It means slightly lighter mornings for a while, but darkness falls earlier in the afternoon … and Philippines time will be 8 hours ahead of ours !

Just found some useful information about the clocks going back from our local Police Constabulary that I'd like to share:-

"With the clocks going back this weekend, burglary is a crime which tends to increase so we are reminding you to take security precautions as the evenings draw in. Burglary is mostly an opportunist offence so you can remove temptation by keeping possessions out of sight and making your home look like someone's in. Security alarms and lights can be a worthwhile investment to deter offenders and could save you a lot of time and inconvenience in the long run.

These simple steps can help keep homes and the possessions they contain more secure.

*Invest in a security light and alarm to deter burglars. Burglar alarms are shown to be the number one deterrent.

*Use a timer switch for lights when you are not in so your home looks occupied.

*Make sure you lock your front and back doors and secure all windows, including upstairs, before leaving.

*Beware of bogus callers. If somebody knocks at your door, be wary. Most utility companies do not cold call. Ask to see photo ID and call the company for confirmation. Genuine callers do not mind calling back another time or for you to make an arranged appointment with the company.

For more information about security contact your local community safety team on 101 or visit the force website."
