No more Spring sunshine for you!
The whole idea (Especially during WW2 when energy consumption was critical) was to match daylight hours with "Most" of the general populations daily lives in order to reduce the need for heating and lighting homes and workplaces during the hours of darkness.
This is just as good an idea today as it was 70 years ago.
I’d prefer to have longer days than what we currently have.
BST(+1) in the winter, "Double Summer Time" (+2) in the Summer (Like they did in WW2)
This would be great
Personally the lighter the evening the better
Id have +2 all year round if I had the choice
Good and so everyone else should. This stupid one hr forward and one hr back nonsense is just that, absolute nonsense.
I’d prefer to have longer days than what we currently have.
Aye, lets petition for 25 or 26 hour days. This 24hr nonsense isn't cutting it theres nowhere near enough hours in the day!
While I’m sure that you meant that you’d prefer the days to be light for longer Yas, I think that you
led with your chin there, especially knowing the lightning reactions of the site’s resident wags.
Are you sure about that? LolWe invented time when an an apple fell on Winston Churchills head.
Improvise Adapt Overcome.
Don't like it ? , stay in garlic land.
You are indeed correct, I’d rather have light for longer.
It is less relevant today as there is often less of a requirement to start work at some specified X o'clock and a bit more flexibility. Ergo for a lot of people it doesn't matter whether you pick BST or GMT... if you want to get up when it is light then just do that if you don't then don't.
This is especially true in the case of self employed farmers, in fact it always has been the case for them - no one is forcing them to get up any earlier or later, yet they've tended to oppose DST regardless.
Does it really matter? I never notice or feel any different when it changes, I don't even change the time all my devices just update straight away too
