They did try 1 year not changing it, and all the kids had the reflective armbands they had to wear to school :laugh: I don't know if there was a higher level of accidents etc with kids or not. Things have changed so much since the last trial, it must be worth trying it again

Yeah, in that experiment they kept BST rather than GMT all year round.

I think that it is better not to wake up to darkness rather than not have darkness in the evenings.

Especially up here in Scotland.
