Yeap, back to the old "Go to work in the dark and come home in the dark and only see daylight during lunch" stuff again

Yup don't like it when the clocks back either.
Just depressing when it's dark at 5pm.
Usually about the time of year I start wearing trousers.

I say this every year but changing the clocks is utterly pointless. Most people would prefer more daylight in the winter in the evening and it is clearly better for mental health. We should scrap it.

My mum worked during WW2 when they had double summertime, and she said at the height of summer, it never got dark until Midnight.
She said it was brilliant (the extra sunlight, not WW2).

The impact on mental health is proven, lower daylight hours when people are awake (moving the clocks backwards makes no difference in practice as people are asleep) results in a decrease in vitamin D levels and so increases the likelihood of SAD.
Vitamin D supplementation is how I make it through the winter. Without it I get really bad SAD. There are so many reasons summer is better but that is just one.
Was just about to post this.
Kids up an hour earlier, obviously who ever thinks this is still a good idea definitely do not have kids.
Although...bed an hour earlier...yeah lolz

Wake me up in March when Spring Begins. Cant stand Winter, only good thing is Greedy fortnight at Christmas when I eat my own body weight in food. Washed down with beer. The lovely smell of a christmas tree. From January the 3rd is just bleak horrible weather. Only seeing daylight on my days off, joints aching from the cold, Mountain bike rides requiring a rinse when its freezing. Car going from White to Brown. Hate post Christmas winter.

Is it for just the farmers in Scotland?
You forget how many clocks that need changing. Got 3 wall clocks, 2 alarm clocks, clocks on microwave and oven, clock in the car, plus timer switches which I use to luminate my stairs. Those are the ones I have to change myself. Plus many more which change automatically/

Does anyone actually honestly prefer the winter over the summer?

There were bloody loads of the gits in the it’s too hot thread this year, and it weren’t even hot!

I prefer the cooler weather, but the clock changes can do one. Such a pointless exercise.
