Its all Chris Martin's great Grandfathers fault

But do you actually understand why we do this stupid thing every year?

Its actually unbelievable

A lovely little ritual that allows those dark Autumn evenings to settle in.

I was only having a conversation about this over the weekend. It's already dark and ****ty, why make it even worse?

The day time.

It's basically so the limited amount of daylight we can have during winter is moved to a more "convenient" time for everyone.

Although, an hour makes no difference to me.

no one cares if its dark in the morning, save it for the evening

[joeysteele]

I think they should just stop doing it.
I see little as to convincing points as to continuing it.

Ugh, I do. I used to hate walking to school in pitch black with the street lights on. If it's lighter in the morning you're more inclined to get up.

It's a good thing.

The roads can get icy overnight in the cold winter months so shifting the hours back can reduce accidents by having lighter mornings... And shifting the hours forward in the Summer allows for warmer, longer days which help crops, and clamps down on energy/electricity usage (lighting in homes, for example)

And several other reasons too.

I fiddle with my clock every day.

Well I turned up an hour early for work this morning!
I clearly don't look at my watch very often or perhaps I just need glasses

[UserSince2005]

I think we should just stick to the same time all year round. but not BST.
We should stick with GMT to display our dominance over the world.
Especially with Brexit coming up. Britain will rule the waves once more

[Beso]

Is it not something to do with the sea tides or shipping or...........something.
