Clcoks go forward

Don't forget to put your clocks forward next weekend for the start of British Summer Time.

Although we will lose an hour's sleep in bed, it won't get darker till later and the extra hours of daylight will mean we will able to enjoy more outside activities.

The run up to Midsummer day is my favourite time of the year, because after that date you feel the nights are drawing in and when you get to the end of August you begin to think that Autumn is on its way.

There is nothing better than leaving work while it is still light and walking to the car in the daylight.

Another added bonus is the lighter mornings.

Meanwhile, it seems the credit crunch has even had an impact on this year's Apprentice, which starts on Wednesday.

In the fifth series the international task – where contestants go to foreign countries such as Marrakech and France – has been axed.

Also the task where a team has to sell a foreign item in this country has been changed to a number of “Buy British” tasks.

This year the show will start with eight female and seven males candidates, one male has already dropped out.

The programme will be on our screens for the next 12 weeks.

Without seeing the people on the screen it is hard to see which of them will stand out, but reading what they have said in the paper I think Kate Walsh and Ben Clarke may have the biggest attitudes.
