Ever since i can remember the clocks have gone back on the last weekend of october, so why is it a week early this year ?, surely with all this green thingamyb****ks going on it means we are all switching everything on an hour earlier causing more Co2

Regardless of the date, it was still the last weekend in October.

But you shouldn't need the lights on in the morning unless you get up really early.

Is it because at midnight next Saturday it will be November

They are changed on the last FULL weekend in October, that is a Saturday AND a Sunday together. Next Sunday is November.

I suppose that if we're switching everything on an hour earlier, then we're also switching everything off an hour earlier. No matter whether we're BST or GMT the number of hours of daylight remains the same - I think lol

Didn't we stay on BST for a few years?

I think that was in the late 60s. I remember going to school in the dark.
