I use the term 'Fall back and Spring forward', which indicate, back in the Autumn, and forward in spring.
I think I'd be confused with using your term Bob :-S

When the clocks go forward again next summer that will be the last time for the EU which will remain on "summer time". The result will be that from end October 2021 the time difference UK/EU inc Ireland will be two hours.

and takes no prisoners in its wake, Barbara.

Thanks Mr M.

Had just asked OH whether it was forward or back and he remembered that old quote 'Fall back'.
