Clocks Go Back, Giving Perth an Extra Hour of Rain It Did Not Order
Residents furious the bonus hour was 'just more of the same, but darker'.

PERTH — The clocks went back at the weekend, granting Perth an additional hour that most residents spent watching it rain.
“I wanted a lie-in,” said fictional Scone man Ally Kerr, 44. “Instead I got an extra hour of sideways drizzle and the oven clock still says BST. It’ll say BST until March. It knows.”
Sunset is now so early that several Perth cats are reported to have gone out at teatime and come back for breakfast.
