If they change it from GMT I will blow up a hospital, a school and then use the endangered arabian fruitbat as kindling for my tyre fire.

You know what really ****es me off about this, the country is in disarray, reliance on food banks on the rise, unemployment up, standards of living falling, flood damage, tax avoidance, poor standards of education - lagging behind everyone else.

And some useless *******s are sat about in Parliament having a cup of tea not really doing a lot going "You know what guys, I think we should change the times to be more European, I think that'd be nicer wouldn't it?"

ARE YOU ****ING KIDDING ME?

Yes, let's not tackle any issues at all unless someone is dying!
 
Not especially in favour of this (though don't see it as particularly bad)

I would prefer a year-round BST, with no hour change for winter.

"I want a lighter evening and a darker morning" then do it, nothing is stopping you doing it now. Just because the times aren't the norm doesn't mean you cannot have that!

True I guess but the vast majority of people are constrained by timings which are out of their hands...eg working hours!!!

True I could could get up an hour earlier but I'd still have to go to work for 9.00am and finish at 5pm so my evening would still be starting then and it would still be only say 4 hours until it was dark.

If the clocks changed I could have 5 hours after wrk until it was dark which would be great for doing more things of an evening during the summer when the weather is nice!!

If you don't like your working hours either speak to your boss or go find another job, it's not hard.

I've not had a job in the past 5 years which was a 9-5, most offices are flexible with hours nowadays. The 9-5 is a really dated concept.

It's not an issue. How is it an issue?

Are people currently bound by law to go to bed at a certain time and get up at a certain time? No.
People are currently doing as they wish with regards to what time they must go to bed and get up.

Not they aren't. For example, it's not as pleasant to go for a walk/running when it's dark.

The question is simple: do you like sunlight?

If so, why are you satisfied with the stupid GMT/BST arrangment we have now?

Sort of agree. The stupid eu olive oil labeling thing recently made me feel the same way. So much time and money is wasted on inconsequential, useless rubbish .

OK, make a case which says the standard working hours should be 8-4 and I will support you.

Your reason for doing this is based on the assumption that everyone has the same working hours....
 
No as it shoots my box every year & it takes me about 5 days to get used to it.
