“A busy night at Stonehenge as workers move all the stones forward one hour”
“A busy night at Stonehenge as workers move all the stones back/forward one hour” is a jocular daylight saving time saying that has been printed on several images. Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument in Wiltshire, England, that is believed to be astronomically aligned.
“Happy Summer Solstice! The day the Druids gather at Stonehenge to move the stones back an hour. #maynotbecompletelyaccurate” was posted on Twitter by Karl Minns on June 21, 2013. “The poor National Trust staff who will be working throughout the night to move the stones ‘forward’ an hour at Stonehenge. #lol” was posted on Twitter by Steve Chambers on March 26, 2016. “OK can we all stop with the ‘moving the stones back an hour’ memes now?” was posted on Twitter by Archdruid Eileen on October 30, 2016.
Wikipedia: Stonehenge
Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument in Wiltshire, England, two miles (3 km) west of Amesbury. It consists of a ring of standing stones, each around 13 feet (4.0 m) high, seven feet (2.1 m) wide, and weighing around 25 tons. The stones are set within earthworks in the middle of the most dense complex of Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments in England, including several hundred tumuli (burial mounds).
Wikipedia: Daylight saving time
Daylight saving time (DST), also daylight savings time or daylight time (the United States and Canada) and summer time (United Kingdom, European Union, and others), is the practice of advancing clocks during warmer months so that darkness falls later each day according to the clock. The typical implementation of DST is to set clocks forward by one hour in the spring (“spring forward”) and set clocks back by one hour in autumn (“fall back”) to return to standard time. As a result, there is one 23-hour day in late winter or early spring and one 25-hour day in the autumn.
