How clocks going back will end up costing you hundreds on energy bills

We might be getting an hour extra in bed, but the clocks going back might just cost you in a totally different way.

No one is complaining about getting a little lie in tomorrow when the clocks go backwards, but it’s not all good news for Brits.

The whole idea behind moving the clocks is that we make more use of the daylight during the winter months.

However, Queen's University Belfast have suggested that we could be saving at least £1.20 on electricity bills a day if we didn’t change the cloc

A homework ban is something we could all get on board with once upon a time, but 42-year-old comedian Jason might be taking that to the next level…

He ended up in a fiery debate on X, claiming he would be a ‘hero, nay a God’ if anything came of his idea.

In his post, he wrote: “I thought it as a kid and now I think it as an adult: homework is bulls***!

Six million drivers could be at risk of getting fine for making easy mistake on roundabouts

UK set for first snow of winter as unseasonably warm weather comes to an end

After some very late warm weather to see off an atrocious summer of rain and drizzle, one part of the UK could be hit with what is arguably one of the most exciting things about winter, that obviously being snow.

The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for parts of England and Wales, where we could see very heavy rain and much cooler weather to welcome us into the winter months…at least it’s doing what we annually expect it to do, unlike summer!

Extraordinary simulation shows what babies can hear inside the womb

The YouTube video, that mimics what a foetus can hear whilst inside the womb, has been described as ‘extraordinary’. Take a look:

With nearly 4,000 views, the creator - dimitris chronis Animus Mentis Productions - points out that in the late-stages of pregnancy, a baby is much more aware of musical tones - and although muffled, they can even recognise melodies.

The simulation not only demonstrates what babies can hear, but with the added amazement of knowing how they hear music.

Experts issue warning over sleeping on your stomach

While the purpose of the annual tradition is to put a smile on the faces of London commuters, the humorous detail didn’t go down too well with passengers concerned about increasing train fares.
