Stupid clocks go forward this weekend.

[Spook187]

Fine with me, working so one less hour to work

What possible benefits are there for remaining on GMT? Lighter evenings works out much better for everyone, with reduced energy usage and more daylight outside of school/work hours being chief amongst the perq's.

Can't we just knock GMT forward 30 mins, then we'd never have to touch our clocks again.

 

[FoxEye]

British Summer Time is best time.

Should ditch GMT altogether

This. It's the silly people trying to live up near the North Pole that are ruining it for us southerners.

Feek only posts this every year because he knows he's the only person who actually likes GMT, why wouldn't you like long evenings?!

 

[Angilion]

Longer evenings, what's not to like

Losing another hour of my life to my job. I'll get even less time between finishing work Saturday and starting work Sunday than I usually get between 1 working day and the next (I usually get 12-12.5 hours of life time between working days, but of course that has to include eating, washing and sleeping).

On the plus side, in another 18 years I'll be retired or dead.

Arguments about oooh the children, or workers up north are a bunch of none-sense. You just change the hours their school/work day starts. No need to change the timezone for the whole country.

They should pick a time and stick to it. Don’t care if it’s GMT or BST, but I personally don’t see the point of changing the time.

It's old fashioned and from a time where everyone worked the fields for food. We have supermarkets now and electricity....... It's madness keeping this clock change nowadays

 

[MBennett]

Rather have BST all year
Maybe even UTC +2 all year

Light evenings in winter would be great
Don't care about mornings.

This 100%.

Never understood the farmers argument for GMT, surely it has to be one of the top professions least dependant in the human construct of time that there is. Or have they taught all their cows how to read the time?

No its the corn not the cows lol

Hate when the clocks go to BST, working out what the actual time is on some kit is a nightmare. Makes looking at logs hard work. Some kit goes forwards and back some doesn't.

 

[[FnG]magnolia]

Blah blah, mutter mutter.

Clocks go forward, we go from lovely GMT to stupid BST.

Grrrr.

Yeah, nope

Stop using trees to tell the time

 

[Uther]

Finally the clock in my car will be right again!

 

[Diagro]

I will appreciate more light after work. More time to work on the car

 

[Skunkworks]

As well as changing the clocks, I think we should alternate which side of the road we drive on every 6 months.

 

[andy_mk3]

Amen to that.

 

[dowie]

We need to stop this time changing nonsense, it's not even needed any more.

^^^ this, it is utterly pointless... it is just a measure, changing things back and forth unnecessarily complicates things, there are still the same number of hours of daylight in a day, there is just a different digit to represent them for [reasons].

If farmers need to get out of bed for a certain time then they can set their alarm clock to that time and if (some) businesses/organisations want to have summer and winter working hours then so be it... it doesn't require having the clocks go forward of backwards.

 

[Christmas themed thank]

It will never change
