Oct 22: Check the time.

If you happen to be using Outlook or Microsoft or your office happens to be using Microsoft exchange as an e-mail server, And your based in the UK, Ok that can be quite a few of you. You may notice that your Calender is or has been set to GMT! But It's not GMT time just yet, that comes at the last week-end of October, that's next week.
The problem is caused by a small bug, just a very small on, and normally your wouldn't every see it, well yes, this very same problem will happen in 2010, 2011 and 2016, so what's the problem and what's the bug, I hear you ask?
Well, check October this year, yes, there are 5 Sundays, and you will see the same happening in 2010, 2011 and 2016. And the bug is? Yes, coming to that, It's how Microsoft has coded the change over from BST to GMT.
What they have done is hard coded a rule, that BST finishes on the 4th week-end of October without exception. So check and make sure you have the right times or you could say, your lost in a timewarp somewhere 1hr ago;
