Turn back time

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

I wish we could just stay on GMT!

Also,what's all this bollocks about sticking to 'continental time' when we're sat on the Grenwich meridian ffs?! Oh, it'll cause less accidents in the evenings - um did you think about dark mornings with dozy people behind wheels. And how much do you really want to piss off the whole of Scotland and much of northern England? Tossers.

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 :)
