I'm so happy that we'll be back to GMT (UTC, Z, etc) this coming weekend.

We invented time, we invented Greenwich, we invented longitude and we invented clocks*

We'll be back to proper time again... BST, you can do one!

Everyone gets an extra hour sleep, except for insomniacs who can have an extra hour staring at the ceiling.

Normally the clock changes don't really bother me.

But working from home and seeing it get dark so early is going to be ****. Particularly with Covid-19 on the rise again and a lockdown situation almost-inevitable.

That spring weather was amazing, despite the unprecedented times we were in. Now it'll be dark and cold
 
I'm offended by your image. Please replace it with an image of a British timepiece - not some company who has stolen our time!
 
Of all the years, we should have had a trial run staying at BST this year.

A huge amount of us are now getting up 5 minutes before starting work from home so light mornings make absolutely no difference, we just lose an hour of daylight in the evening.
 
Yes its darker for even longer how sarcastically awesome :P. A perk of living so stupidly north.
 
That means that my local now closes at 11pm BST again instead of 10pm BST, has anyone told the virus this so it can adjust to the new opening hours?

I've been working from home since mid 2017 and it hasn't bothered me in the slightest.
 
The old excuse of “helping the farmers” doesn’t wash anymore as every modern tractor I see has enough light bars to illuminate a tennis court on them.

No its not, it's darker for a different part of the day, week, month. The overall amount of lux remains the same. :D
 
We should have double summer time, like we had back in the war.

Remember my mum saying how great it was.

Damn it being darker in the evenings.
