It was on News at Ten and its so even in the depths of winter it doesn't get dark until about 4-5pm depending on where you live. But that means it won't get light until about 9.40am in some places such as Edinburgh.
Good or bad move to ditch GMT or should they keep the system they had? They did it before in 1970 but reverted back to the old system. |

You know my methods
|
what irritates me A LOT
is that in the last 24 hours i have heard and read idiot reporters talk about the current bad weather (up here) as blah blah blah and its 4 days into British Summertime too... bollocks summer is June, July and August spring is March April and May the Summertime they refer to is to do with time only. In GMT we have only summer and winter time and it has NOTHING to do with seasons or the weather. It is about as relevant as saying "snowfall in Scotland was a surprise as we are just 2 days into the DFS summer sale" twits |

It wont happen as long as it is a United Kingdom. Scotland and N Ireland would suffer in the winter , all for no real advantage in the summer. The 68-71 trial evaluation period where BST was kept during the winters did show a drop in evening accidents but also an increase in accidents in the morning. |

I disagree with this, I just don't see the need personally and the idea of starting a day of school/work at 10am doesn't appeal to me.

I dont see the need in moving time around just because it stay dark in the mornings at winter...not sure if you guys noticed this, but afternoons on the way home from school are dark in the winter...so...its pretty much the same either way
