CLOCKS FORWARD this weekend !

fatiain · 27 Mar 2015 at 02:15

I don't see the point of Daylight Saving time.

I see less point in moaning about it.

Ugh, gonna be pitch black in the morning on the way to work.

That picture in the OP is wrong. Clocks go forward one hour at 1am to 2am. Not 2am to 3am.

am I bothered.

Put them 30 mins forward and leave them there for good. I'd put that in my manifesto.

Agreed, I'm all for lighter evenings all year round...

So why do you want to leave it on GMT?

Love BST. It's great for 9-5 workers as you feel like you've got a nice bit of the day left when you leave work. Nothing beats leaving work when the suns shining and its warm, knowing that you can get back and have a relaxing beer in the garden for an hour or two.

I was going to point that out too. Were on GMT now, for lighter evenings all year youd want to be on BST all the time.

I'd like that tbh, although would it mean its still dark at 9am in the depth of Winter?

In this day and age, we should just leave it at GMT all year round.

Extra evening daylight, bring it on.

If were going to scrap shifting our clocks twice a year (which I agree is sensible), I'd rather we did it and stuck with BST.

Sticking with GMT would mean at the height of summer, sunrise would be about 3.45AM, and sunset, about 8.20PM. I would say the majority of the populace would rather have it staying lighter later, than getting light 2-3 hours before most are even waking up.

Don't get me wrong, as an early riser, I do like light mornings, but I much prefer lighter evenings.

I would love double summer time, it worked during WWII, I recall my late grandfather telling me about playing football at 11pm in July!

Sure the Scottish wouldn't like it, they could have their own time if it was such an issue, I'd reckon they wouldn't though.

So Sunday morning we lose an hour. Great.

Freefaller · 27 Mar 2015 at 09:55

We should just ban night time. No more problem, light all the time. Win.

Agreed. I'm a morning person and love getting up early and getting on with my day - but I think GMT all year round would be OTT.
