Turn back time

What's the point in gaining an hour if you spend half of it adjusting all your clocks?

I agree with you. If we have to choose a time and stick to it it should be GMT. I haven't understood any of the arguments to stay in the wrong time zone for our longditude.

I am, despite this post, quite happy with the current set-up. GMT is essential in the winter to avoid late mornings. It makes no difference to me whether it gets dark in the evening 30 minutes before I leave work or 90 minutes before I leave work. But long, light, summer evenings on BST are very nice.

There would still be long, light summer evenings even with GMT through the summer.

But not *as* long, and I'm really not likely to see any benefit from the sun rising at 4am if we stuck with GMT all year round.

I might, though :)
