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.

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.

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.
