Clock changes: EU backs ending daylight saving

[Eddie]

I don't mind the clocks changing, I quite like the long, dark nights.

Is there anything that people can't or won't use to argue about Brexit?

 

[Mahonyy]

This needs a referendum. But a poll will do as well.

Another good EU change that we'll not see the benefit of

plot twist, we do it anyway...

Kids walking to school in pitch darkness, what's not to like?

Well it's not like it's safe for them to walk to school in daylight these days.

caused by brexit and an out of sync clock?

 

[Em3bbs]

Do we all agree that GMT+1 is better?

Most people do, you get the odd weirdo though.

Most kids don't seem to walk to school anyway.

Strange I was sure I copy/pasted the correct link, I've fixed now

More worrying is how many have commented without actually checking the link

I don't understand why people prefer GMT over BST? GMT means dark nights which is ****.

Yeah because it's no longer safe.

isn't it dark when they come home at times anyway?

Yeah because it's no longer safe.

bit melodramatic, it's not that bad. Obviously some locations exempt, but it's fine almost everywhere

Walking is the most common method of school travel: https://assets.publishing.service.g...lking-and-cycling-statistics-england-2017.pdf

Safer than taking a risk 'cause your gonna be late on some unlit NSL out of town road without footpaths. Do you mob ever leave the city?
This suggestion has been discussed previously by our own govt and summarily dismissed on safety issues.

The whole forward backward of clocks changing is quite simply the most retarded thing ever imho.
Of course people will say otherwise but me?? I detest having to change the clocks forwards and backwards.

you don't HAVE to, if you just leave them they'll be right again in about 6 months.

I thought you were using reverse sarcasm in first post. Sorry.

I would argue its less safe in a city. You might get stabbed or mugged by a chav on a moped.

Tbh I don't see what difference it makes being dark. You afraid of the dark? Do criminals only come out at night?

Come Brexit we'll be shipping you self identifying foreigners off to some remote antipodean prison island so it won't matter anyway.
