Hey everybody don't forget to switch your lights off for earth hour tonight, we've just had it here in this hemisphere :)

8:30 pm - 9:30 pm

??????

You are supposed to switch your lights off (Just lights) from 20:30 for an hour. Everyone around the world is supposed to do it. Its as an effort to save the enviroment. Surely they have advertised it in the UK, been on the news here!

Never heard of it and I watch most of the news programs.

Should I also switch off my headlights? 😁

Lol you sure you never heard of it??

It's on front page of bbc world news! http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/7969515.stm

It's apparently taking place in 88 countries at 20:30 in each country's own time zone

We started about 15min ago...quite fun sitting in the dark lol!! Makes a change

Sorry to disapoint but I had all my kids go around the house and turn every light on we had, cranked every B&O piece we have ON and then we all got in the 9 man spa we own and like Fred Flinstone "had a gay old time"........... In fact our whole neighborhood was lit up like a Christmas tree. This stuff is funnnnnny! Can not wait til next year.

Err, I take it you don't believe the world has a climate change problem then??

Or perhaps you don't think individuals can make any difference?

Or is this a joke??

Assuming you're serious and not taking the pi$$, then you're a complete bell-end. I hope the seas engulf your part of the world first, rather than in some of the countries where we have representatives that will genuinely be in the front line of climate change. Ask some of the Aussie members about the water rationing and record temperatures they've been contending with this summer, or those in the Low Countries that will be under water in a couple of generation's time.

What a tw@tish post.
