Because currently the time difference is always the same because Europe observes DST. If they stop and we keep it, the time difference will be different at different times of year, which is an added complication.

If we were permanently on summer time it wouldn't be getting light in the winter till like 9am

Maybe a slight inconvenience but not majorly so. So they're an hour ahead in France half the year and in the other half we're the same time, it's not that difficult to navigate surely

Incorrect. They're always ahead bc both them and UK change times almost at the same time.

we really hate washing the dishes when it gets too dark, and we have to put our garbage outside


scary when it's so dark, also since we watch crimewatch show here, and we see most break-in's happen when it's dark

Bc it's a silly thing to do, changing time back and forth

[Twosugars]

Nicky, do you have vampires in your area?

no 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

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

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