It means that it will not be on BST during the event, but whatever the normal time is.

It's already not on BST... look at the heading in the timezone 'chart'. It says GMT. So it doesn't matter when BST ends, starts or jumps in the ocean because BST is a totally irrelevant consideration here. The author is intimating that the ending of BST impacts GMT. It doesn't. GMT is a constant and doesn't revolve around BST. BST revolves around GMT as do all the other time zones in the world. GMT is 'time ground zero' and all time zones in the world (including BST) offset to/from GMT (aka UTC). For example, my time zone (PDT) is currently GMT-07:00, and when daylight savings time ends on the first Sunday in November, it will be (PST) GMT-08:00.

lol, like everyone said, we don't get it off from school. Never have.

Americans get very little vacation time too compared to Europe (I only get 10 days of vacation from work), so most people don't even take that day off.

It's not a "holiday" and I'm pretty sure it's just not the US celebrates it.

I just wrote that because I got messed up in the head and thought it was on more than one day and had to edit it. But I remember the first Halloween was on a weekday, but I found time to sneak on for it.

Lol no i think you are mistaken almost no one has off in America and no its not an American holiday, since it was originally developed in Europe and carried over to America. We just keep the tradition. Actually, its more of a capitalist holiday since its just a scheme by business cooperations to get money by advertising costumes and scary stuff.
