Ah, then you were right of course.

Nicky, do you have vampires in your area?

no :laugh: but in the summer it's still light, and in winters we need to put our lights on, so in summers is better for nature in terms of saving energy

i saw bats the other day yeah :joker:


but vampires no

The Dark is not so bad
Get some LED torches

when i was a kid, they tried one year where they didn't change the clocks, and all the school kids had to have reflectors attached to their clothes. It was a basic safety problem for kids. I would imagine it would be the same again

could be vampire bats :omgno:

best wear a garland of garlic around your neck and hold a crucifix when you put rubbish out

They're stealing your Summer.

We would switch to BST, its well known that BST fits best for modern life.

countries can choose which one they want to make permanent

stop the hysteria

Yes been wanting this to happen since the trial year ! so much better with no clock changes and extra hr of light in evenings in winter.

I voted for this on the EU Parliament website, there's no need for it to be changing these days.

In Ireland they give reflective vests to school kids anyway, it's encouraged even in daylight.

?????

Why don't you stop being authoritarian and demanding I stop having my say?

Totally back this

Well done EU yet another good policy, will miss you :clap1:

We ain't gone yet, don't be trying to jinx it.

that wasn't my intention

edit:
why such hysteria?

Some members (me and smudgie) may remember the three-year experiment launched in 1968, when British Standard Time (GMT+1) was employed all year round.

The clocks were put forward as usual in March 1968 and not put back until October 1971.

The Department for Transport's initial analysis of road casualty data during the experiment suggested more people were injured in the darker mornings, but fewer people were injured in the lighter afternoons.

It estimated a net reduction of 2,700 people killed or seriously injured during the first two years of the experiment.

However, it was recognised at the time that the calculations did not take into account drink-driving legislation passed in 1967, so the Department for Transport eventually re-analysed the data and factored that in. In 1989, it found the data agreed broadly with the earlier estimates.

It suggested that those living in central England and southern Scotland benefited most from the experiment. However, northern Scotland saw a net increase in the number of people killed or seriously injured.

A White Paper published in 1970 said it was impossible to quantify the advantages and disadvantages of British Standard Time.

The experiment was debated in the Commons on 2 December 1970 and - by a vote of 366 to 81 - the experiment was discontinued.

as kids were going to school in the dark we got given florescent armbands to wear :shocked:

i remember them ... and in Scotland it was blinking dark :laugh:

I just like putting a different spin on things, I think it's healthy to hear different opinions, I don't want to be known as an NPC.

Why are you bothered?

What Europe rules on is of no interest to me... we should be out now.

bc you called hysteria some convo we had in the EU thread
thought you were against hysteria so I pointed out that comment of yours here was hysterical

how insular
Oh so you planning on towing us away as well?
It's like Mexico saying they don't care what the US rules on
