[The European Parliament has voted to stop moving clocks forward an hour in spring and back again in the autumn. Politicians passed the measure by 410 votes to 192 - meaning seasonal time shifts, which were introduced during World War One to save energy, will end in 2021. A final law will be produced after discussions with member nations, but the UK government has indicated it will stick to the current system after Brexit. Supporters of scrapping daylight saving time point to scientific studies that have linked the twice-yearly changes to illness because of how they interrupt biological cycles.] Lucky Nicky Last edited by arista; 26-03-2019 at 05:20 PM. |

UK govt. is lying, even if/when we Brexit if the whole of Europe stops changing their clocks the UK will do so too fairly quickly because the constant relative fluctuations would be a pain in the arse. We might be "leaving Europe" but whether we like it or not they're going to be our nearest geographical neighbours forever.

Remembering Kerry

I've always thought it a nuisance anyway.
I'd agree to the UK scrapping it too. |

Why should we lose GMT, it’s our history, Europe would for sure make us go on BST for the whole year

GMT is an institution though, BST is not quite the same

By all means cancel the one that goes forward, but don't away my extra hour in bed.

I agree with removing it. It does cause all sorts of sleep issues and basically a "mini jetlag" twice a year where your body clock and the time of day aren't properly synced. I'd also guess that a LOT of productivity is lost in the week or two following the clocks going forward when everyone is tired all the time because their body thinks it's getting up an hour early every day.
My youngest has had life long sleep issues but with careful, exact timing it's possible to get her into a great rhythm of going to bed at 8.30 and up at 7. Any deviation can mean she's awake for HOURS in the middle of the night. The stupid clocks changing can **** up her sleep cycle for a month. |
