Should we stop the clocks going back?
The PM’s said the govt will consideer keeping British Summer Time all year round. This’d mean darker winter mornings but more daylight in the evenings. As there's often talk about the impact on Scotland we’ve split it out.
Which of these is closest to your view?
A. Don't put the clocks back. I'd rather an extra hour in the afternoon.
B. Put the clocks back. I prefer morning light.
C. I don’t care.
D. I LIVE IN SCOTLAND – Don't put them back. I'd rather an extra hour in the afternoon.
E. I LIVE IN SCOTLAND – Put them back. I prefer morning light.
F. I LIVE IN SCOTLAND – I don’t care.

So I think it's the winter time one I believe.
So it's GMT for me........ farmers will just have to do their own BFT so they can get up earlier if they want to on their own time plan. Have it in tandem with GMT
The animals don't mind honestly ....
....... mind you I suppose we've got to fit in with Europe and as far I know they appear to follow our alternating BST and GMT + 1 hour
I know someone will correct me if I'm wrong.
The best way we could do this is to trial it for one year, it does not stop us reverting back to changing the clocks back if we really want to.
For me - or more for the children having to walk to school (Some still do!) it would make it extremely dangerous where we live - cars have a tendancy to make up the rules on the road driving as they please speed and sense wise, they forget what pedestrian crossings and islands are for.
Sort more important things out than messing with things that aren't broken.
Resulting in Double British Summertime. It was light up to about 11.30pm at the height of summer.
Yes Australia does put the clocks forward and back and on the same dates as the UK ...........BUT when we go forward an hour they go back and when we go back they go forward......... confused yes because in summer they can be 9 hours ahead and winter 11 ahead.
To confuse things further large countries/continents like Australia have different times zones within their region and Australia has 3 different time zones.
