Paul,
Normal practice is to split the loss/gain over two watches, ie clocks change
at midnight and both the evening and middle watches are 3 1/2 or 4 1/2 hours
each.
Having said that, I have seen the hour lost taken from the middle (ie 3 hrs
stood) and the hour gained added to one of the dog's
Cheers,
John
