Clock change smoke hazard

From the ummissable ThameNews.Net (Thame is a town in Oxfordshire)

'With the clocks going forward one hour this weekend, 27/03/10, Oxfordshire County Council’s Fire and Rescue Service is reminding people of the need to regularly maintain their smoke alarms.'

What I am reminded of by the state sponsored time change is the need to take some useless bureaucrat and beat him with a firehose until he admits that not one millisecond of daylight will be 'saved' by pretending it is a different time from what it is.

If you don't want to get up earlier on Sunday, don't. If you don't see any connection between changing the clocks and having your smoke alarm serviced, don't do that either.
