I noticed that my morning sever wakeup wasn't working any more, and on
investigation found in /usr/bin/scwakeup.sh:
# Assumes that hardware clock is set to UTC.

So it seems that the value passed to the script now that I'm on BST and
not GMT is an hour earlier. Thing is, any PC I've ever used has the BIOS
clock set by the OS when a daylight saving change occurs. This means
that the wake up is 62 minutes before the alarm and not 2 minutes as I
set in the UI. This is a problem since I have the idle time-out set to
45 minutes, so the server has gone back off again before the alarm
occurs and I get the annoying backup alarm beep instead of the radio.

Is there an obvious way around this? I can't enter -(minus)58 minutes
into the UI, so is there a way that I can make my Linux install never
change the BIOS clock on daylight saving changes, but instead just
ofset the OS time?
