Response to "Time to Lose Time" leaflet

This weekend the Times unleashed, to its carriers, a leaflet entitled "Time to Lose Time". Well thanks for the info, several days before we were no doubt going to figure it out ourselves in a timely manner as we've successfully done every year, about how next Sunday, March 14, will be the date to set our clocks forward in preparation for.

Kind of ironic for the Times to be reminding its carriers instead of the other way around. It was us carriers who were all standing around at the distribution center waiting for the Times to wake up bring the bundles of papers, on all three (2007, 2008 and, to a marginally-lesser extent as I vaguely recall, 2009) "spring forward" Sundays that I've been a carrier.

Well, maybe it was because of those incidents that The Times finally realized a general reminder was necessary for all staff... ;)

Well _if_ they also gave that reminder to those responsible for printing the the front sections and bringing them to the distribution center, us _carriers_ were still the only ones to _heed_ them, because the update is that now it's _4_ spring-forward Sundays in a row (all 4 spring-forward Sundays that I've been there: 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010) that the carriers at the Clarks Summit distribution center were all there waiting a long time for the front sections to arrive.
