OK, first one I am stuck on.
"People staying overnight on 27th March 2011"
Well, which night is that. There are 5 hours and 50 minutes of night at the start of the 27th and 5 hours and 55 minutes of night at the end of the 27th.
Do they mean both ends of the 27th or just one?
I am sure loads of people will have opinion on this, but what is the legally correct definition and how do I find out?
Grr

ReplyDeleteCouldn't find it via their own search but Google did.
Surely with the clocks changing the amount of night is not as symmetrical. Looking at my clueless graphs I have 5 and a bit hours night + twilight in the morning and about 4 hours + twilight to end the day.
ReplyDeleteI thought I had allowed for that...
