The act of turning the clocks back an hour in October has been a regular activity since the years of World War One.

All European countries, except for Belarus and Iceland, use daylight saving time during the winter months, switching their time on the same night as the UK. However, that could change as early as next year after the European Parliament voted in 2019 to scrap daylight saving time and stop winding clocks twice a year. Three years later Russians wound their clocks back to winter time, which has remained ever since.
