Everytime daylight savings happens all the times go out

Job was booked at 10:46, shows as 09:46 and the quote box shows 11:46

This is actually correct (deliberate at least) as the job was posted at 10:46 so the assumption is that there would be some time between quoting and arriving at the pickup.

The 9:46 time being incorrect still stands and I will fix it asap.

I can see why you do that, but...

For the vast majority of my jobs time of collection is more important than the price, I would prefer if there wasn't a default at all and it HAD to be entered by the person quoting.

A couple of weeks ago I posted a Warrington to Preston, customer needed it ASAP so I posted on here in case there was a driver in Warrington and save us the 45 minutes travel time. East Lancs Couriers quoted but his collection time defaulted to an hour (which I didn't know) so sent one of my vans instead.

To be honest, and I've said this times many, all defaults are a pain in the proverbial. All drop boxes should say "select" and the selection be mandatory. All other default boxes should be blank and mandatory. This way we know the information is real and not just a forgotten entry.
