Always debatable, always controversial! Daylight Savings Time (DST) is the bane of many a business person working internationally. Hour going forward, hour going back. Along with the mutltiple time zones it can be difficult to tell the time.

How and ever, we have just gained an hour over the weekend, so this may be your first day back to work after the ghouls and spooks of Hallowe’en last evening. Have you wondered what to do with the clock going back an hour yesterday?
20 Perfect ways to use that invaluable extra hour?
