. During this time the evenings have more daylight and there's less in the mornings, hence why it's also known as Daylight Saving Time. But when the clocks go back, the UK returns to what is called Greenwich Mean Time. However, while most people will be aware of the clocks going back, here are several things it's important to remember to do. Change your alarm clocks With the clocks going back, don't forget to change your alarm clocks. The majority of televisions and smartphones will do this automatically, however if you have any analogue clocks, you'll need to change them yourself. As well as alarm clocks, remember to change any analogue clocks in your car or oven. Turn the heating on As the temperature drops, it could be a good time to turn the heating on. Many think that the day the clocks change is the right time to switch radiators on. However, if you are considering putting the heating on, there are things you can do to lower costs. For example, some think it's more cost effective to have heating on low all day, however it's proven that this ends up costing more. It's also a myth that it is cheaper to use an electric heater; it's better to switch off all radiators except one in the room you're using. Check your timers If you've already got the heating on this autumn, you might need to update your timer. O){kind=link}
